Half the EU Would Now Follow Hungarian Gov't on Migration Issues

EU data reveal that only about 20 percent of rejected migrants are leaving the EU, a fact that is being brought to the attention of Brussels by a growing number of member states. As is known, Hungary's government has for years upheld a position that is being increasingly echoed across the EU. The European Union may soon begin establishing migrant reception centers outside its borders, a measure advocated by Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson to address the situation of rejected asylum seekers. This initiative, which could come into effect as early as March, aims to reduce the number of irregular migrants who remain in EU territory despite their asylum applications being turned down, writes the international V4NA news agency.
