Hungary’s police force is cooperating with the police forces of several other countries in curbing illegal migration, the National Police Headquarters (ORFK) said on police.hu on Friday.

Hungarian police contributed to patrols along the Serbia-North Macedonia border as part of an integrated border management projects financed from a non-refundable grant of over 3 billion forints, ORFK said in a statement. The Hungarian police’s efforts ensured that certain unlawful acts related to illegal migration were uncovered farther south of the European Union’s external borders, they said.

Meanwhile, a Czech police continent’s presence on the Hungary-Serbia border ensured more resources and flexibility for police efforts, the statement added. The Hungarian police were also aided by their Turkish colleagues who helped with inspecting traffic on the Hungary-Serbia and Hungary-Romania border sections, ORFK said.
