(ANSA-AP) - BUDAPEST — Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said
Friday afternoon after a meeting of the national security
Cabinet that "the Hungarian-Croatian green border will be closed
from midnight." Hungary clamped down on its border with Serbia
with a similar barrier on Sept. 15. Since then, migrants have
been taking a detour through Croatia to reach Hungary. More than
383,000 migrants have entered Hungary this year, nearly all
passing through on their way to Germany and other destinations
further west in the EU. (ANSA-AP).
