Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban rejected the EU's migration policy plans during his visit to Sofia.
The European Union has a new proposal on migration which is against Hungary’s interests because it is still centred around the mandatory relocation of migrants across the bloc, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said after talks with Boyko Borisov, his Bulgarian counterpart, in Sofia on Monday, MTI reports.
Hungary’s position on the issue of migration has not changed, Orban said. The situation is tough in many parts of the world, but Hungary believes that those in need of help should receive support in or around their homelands rather than “bringing trouble over here”, the prime minister said. He praised Bulgaria’s efforts to protect its external borders, by which he said the country had also protected Hungary.
