EU should erect new Greek frontier to stop migrants, Hungarian PM says

The European Union should establish a new frontier on the northern border of Greece, because an agreement with Turkey will not be enough to stop hundreds of thousands of migrants from coming to Europe, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday.

"I think the next line of defense that we need to build up lies on the northern border of Greece," Orban told public radio in an interview.

He said Bulgaria, one of Greece's northern neighbors, should be adopted into the EU's border-free Schengen zone, while Macedonia should be given financial support and other assistance so it could beef up its defenses.
