Hungary says migrant influx 'stops'

AFP , Monday 19 Oct 2015

Hungary said Monday its shutdown of the border with Croatia had put a stop to the influx of migrants and refugees, with only 41 crossing into the EU member Sunday.

"The border closure is working, it has effectively stopped illegal border-crossing. The Hungarian government is determined to keep the measures in place as long as is needed," government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs told reporters in Budapest.
