Hungary’s foreign minister: V4 agreement potential solution to EU migrant crisis

Brussels/Amsterdam, February 6 (MTI) – The outcome of a forthcoming meeting of the Visegrad Group plus Macedonia and Bulgaria could provide the solution to Europe’s migrant crisis, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó told MTI on Saturday.

Attending the closing session of an informal meeting of European foreign and defence ministers in Amsterdam, Szijjártó said that the Feb. 15 meeting of Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia, in addition to the two southern European countries, could end up with an agreement on creating a Macedonia-Bulgaria line of defence which would be capable of eliminating the dangers coming from the continent’s southern flank

“We accept that principles are important and the protection of principles is also important, but the situation is very serious and ultimately we have to deal with protecting people,” he said.
