(ANSA) - BELGRADE, 14 MAG - The placing of asylum seekers and third-country nationals, who are the subject of a return decision, in the Röszke transit zone in Hungary, at the Serbian-Hungarian border, must be classified as "detention," the Court of Justice of the European Union said in a judgment today.

"If, following judicial review of the lawfulness of such detention, it is established that the persons concerned have been detained for no valid reason, the court hearing the case must release them with immediate effect," the Court added.
