The Hungarian prime minister has said that the European Union should establish a ‘new frontier’ on Greek border to completely stop the influx of migrants.
He urged leaders to construct a defence line on the Greek northern border with Macedonia and Bulgaria or risk ‘losing the possibility of free movement’ within the Schengen zone.
Mr Orban said that ‘since no-one except us Hungarians protected their external Schengen borders, defenses, visa systems, border controls and fences are being created inside’ the passport-free area.
Hungary put up fences on the country’s southern border last year to keep out migrants and asylum seekers.
The EU has offered Turkey some $3.26 billion in aid and political concessions, including easing of visa restrictions, in exchange for increased cooperation to stem the flow of migrants.
The European Union said on January 7 that Turkey is not doing enough to decrease the flow of migrants into Europe.
Germany alone has said about 3,200 people are arriving each day, many through Turkey.
