The Hungarian government has instructed Minister of the Interior Sándor Pintér to prepare for the closure of the Hungarian-Serbian border by next Wednesday; this will be achieved by erecting a four-meter-high fence to keep illegal immigrants out.
According to Foreign Affiars and Trade Minister Péter Szijjártó, Hungary does not violate any international legal obligation and does not breach any international contract with the erection of the fence along the 175 kilometers long border section.
He said that this decision by the Government is not a unique one: he cited the examples of fences along the Greek-Turkish and Bulgarian-Turkish borders, and Spanish cities in North Africa which have similar protective measures.
