End of Schengen? EU countries toughen border control
This post was originally published on this site
Thousands of asylum seekers in Roszke, Hungary, near the Serbian border, are being transported on special trains to the Austrian border without registration, Reuters reported the UNHCR as saying. According to the agency, the move was prompted by a record surge in arrivals, with the authorities unable to register the people entering the EU on the spot.
Starting Tuesday, asylum-seekers arriving to Hungary must use only a police-supervised road crossing. Amid the crisis, people arriving in Hungary from Serbia have walked across the border on train tracks near Roszke, getting through razor-wire-topped fences. To block the highest-profile gap in the border security fence, a cargo container lined top to bottom with razor wire will be deployed at midnight Tuesday, AP reported citing Hungarian police.
