Orban's advisor sees no need for new border fence

Budapest, November 23 (MTI) - Hungary would only begin extending the fence on its border with Serbia or build a new one along another section of its border if the flow of illegal migrants were to shift to the Romanian or the Ukrainian border sections, the prime minister's internal security advisor said on Thursday. But for now there is no indication that this would be the case, Gyorgy Bakondi told public news channel M1, adding that controls along Hungary's borders with Romania and Ukraine were effective thanks to cooperation with those countries' border authorities. "We didn't build the border fence out of joy but rather in the interest of keeping Hungary's population safe," Bakondi said.
