Police seal off border at Roszke – UPDATE – PHOTOS

Budapest, September 14 (MTI) – Police sealed off the borders at Roszke crossing point on the border with Serbia at 4.30 pm on Monday, MTI’s correspondent said from the site.

The section of the border in question is the point most affected by illegal migrants coming from Serbia. Migrants will no longer be allowed through the point where the Szeged-Subotica railway line intersects the joint border and the border fence.

Through this gap in the barrier, thousands of migrants entered the country everyday. They will now be returned to Serbia.

A few dozen migrants were seen waiting on the Serbian side of the border. Police were trying to convince them to turn back to Serbia, the correspondent said.

Meanwhile, the fence is being completed with razor wire. Police are monitoring the area with helicopters and mounted police are also present, the correspondent said.

The two camps set up near the border for immigration procedures are now almost empty and fewer migrants were seen at the nearby registration point.

The majority of migrants who have been registered are waiting at Roszke railway station for trains going to the city of Gyor, in north-western Hungary, the correspondent said.
