According to their joint declaration, the prime ministers of the Visegrad Four countries have agreed to contribute 35 million euros to finance a border control programme in Libya, the Hungarian prime minister's office told MTI on Thursday. The funds are aimed to facilitate a border protection programme managed by the Italian government with assistance from the European Commission.
The prime ministers of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia have also offered their cooperation in the implementation of the programme, and voiced their conviction that the migration pressure on Europe could only be eased through protecting the external borders and removing the causes of migration.
