In addition, the border fence is regularly damaged, the repair of which already cost HUF 260 million this year – he listed.
While the migrants are typically Afghan, Moroccan, Pakistani, Syrian, and Turkish citizens, the people smugglers who help them are mostly Azeris, Georgians, Moldovans, Romanians, and Syrians, he added.
The colonel further opined that
the legal regulation of the European Union still does not correspond to the effective fight against illegal migration.
As an example, he mentioned that, from the monetary benefits received in the destination country, migrants usually settle their arrears with human traffickers and send the money back home, which they use again for migration.
At the same time, the Hungarian police actively participates in the fight against European migration, he continued. Hungarian police officers are present in almost all countries along the Western Balkan route, and 68 Hungarian police officers serve in the operations of the EU’s border guard agency, FRONTEX.
