On Wednesday in Budapest, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó discussed possible solutions to the migration crisis with former Prime Minister of Bavaria Edmund Stoiber.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade informed Hungarian news agency MTI that at the meeting the Hungarian Minister emphasised that it is important that border protection is not only a topic for discussion; concrete measures must be taken, because the current defencelessness is dangerous for Europe.

The Government of Hungary welcomes the decision of the countries of the Western Balkans to protect their borders, the statement reads.
