MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 07th November, 2018) Hungary's borders are protected from refugees, but anything could happen if a large group starts "an attack," Director-General of Hungary's Counter Terrorism Center (TEK) Brig. Gen. Janos Hajdu said Wednesday.
"The southern border of Hungary is very strongly protected. The police along with the army are controlling it. The fence is there, the signal system is operational, and we are prepared for any situation. But I can't say right now that we could stop a big crowd it if was attacking. But this is unlikely to happen," Hajdu told a press conference in Moscow dedicated to a meeting of law enforcement agencies.
He noted that Hungarian security services had seen media reports about a large number of refugees in Bosnia who were allegedly preparing to "break into" the European Union, but so far have been unable to either confirm or deny this.
The European Union has been experiencing a large-scale migration crisis since 2015 due to the influx of thousands of migrants and refugees fleeing crises in the middle East and North Africa.
The countries of the Visegrad Group the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia are known for their tough stance on refugee intake, which has repeatedly been harshly criticized by EU bodies and many European politicians.
