Szijjarto warns of growing migration pressure

Hungary can expect the pressure of illegal migration to grow "constantly", the foreign minister said after his annual hearing in parliament's national security committee on Friday. Szijjarto said that security in the Western Balkans in connection with migration was a crucial issue. He said that some 98,000 illegal migrants have now accumulated in those countries and this posed risks for central Europe. He also said that Turkey had reported 398,000 illegal entry attempts by mid-November, 128,000 more than in the whole of last year. "Keeping the intelligence network in good order is crucial in fighting illegal migration," he said.
