Szijjarto: EU must prepare for new migration waves, beef up border protection

Because of the novel coronavirus pandemic, the European Union should be prepared for new migration waves and ready to protect its external borders, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said after talks with Nikos Dendias, his Greek counterpart, in Athens on Thursday. The pandemic presents a new source of danger when it comes to migration, Szijjarto told a joint press conference with Dendias, arguing that the virus had been especially hard on countries that migrants had already been fleeing for Europe.
