Szydlo, Orban meeting in Warsaw

Following a meeting with his Polish counterpart in Warsaw, Hungary's prime minister, Viktor Orban, said EU nations have to accept the fact that neither his country nor Poland want to be "immigrant countries." Poland's Prime Minister Beata Szydlo echoed Orban's position and said security issues were the main considerations, and that their policies are "right." (ANSA).
