Szijjarto: Hungary to allow transit of Romanian, Bulgarian nationals Tuesday night

Hungary will open a transit route for Romanian and Bulgarian citizens stranded at the Austrian-Hungarian border on Tuesday night, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has said. In a Facebook entry, Szijjarto said he had held talks with his Bulgarian and Romanian counterparts by phone, who had asked that Hungary enable their citizens stranded in Austria to return home. "Our priority is protecting the health of Hungarians," Szijjarto said. "This is the aim of the border protection measures." Taking all this into consideration, Hungary will allow Romanian and Bulgarian citizens a single transit through Hungary on a fixed route on Tuesday night, Szijjarto said.
