Hungary has unveiled plans to erect a fence along its border with Serbia as part of a controversial anti-immigration drive, saying it “cannot afford to wait any longer” for the European Union to come up with a solution to the migration crisis.
"The Hungarian government has instructed the interior ministry to physically close the border with Serbia," Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister said on Wednesday, adding that preparations would be completed within a week.
The fence will be four metres high, 110 miles long, and may employ barbed wire, officials said.
Hungary is one of the main points of entry for migrants into the Schengen passport free zone and is witnessing a spike in migration, with about 57,000 people entering the country illegally so far this year, up sharply from 43,000 in all of 2014. 95 percent of those cross from Serbia, which is not a member of the EU but has started accession talks. Last year, Hungary received more refugees per capita than any other EU country apart from Sweden.
