Ah, Hungary is not a frontier country. At the end of June at the Europe summit, heads of states have decided that the so called frontier countries, that is Italy and Greece, are going to establish hot spots which would enable dam that European Union to be able to put some kind of regulations, some kind of discipline into the flood of migrants, and that is not happening.” It’s estimated almost 240,000 migrants have arrived in Greece alone since the start of this year.
