Migrants: Hungary vs.Greece, in the South we are defenseless
Macedonia is protecting Schengen area without being part of it
06 February, 15:40
(ANSA) - AMSTERDAM - ''In the south we are defenseless.
Thousands of illegal migrants enter the EU territory every day.
It's obvious that the southern border of the Schengen area is not safe and if Greece is not able to protect the Schengen area and does not accept to be helped, the EU should have another line of defense, which, of course, runs across Macedonia and Bulgaria''. Thus Hungarian foreign minister, Peter Szijjarto, launched his attack . In the second day of Informal Meeting of EU Foreign Ministers , which is focused on the migrant crisis, he also stated that ''it is frustrating to hear everyone talking about the external border protection and then nothing happens: this thing has to stop''. Hungary's foreign minister then added that we should have ''respect'' for Macedonia and provide ''support'' to a country ''that has done so much to protect the Schengen area and the EU, without being part of neither of them''.
