The statement by the government agency in charge of refugees followed a statement by Austria’s Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner that her country has sent back more than 5,000 migrants to EU member states which they had crossed on their way to Austria.

Around 10,700 migrants walked into Austria from Hungary last Sunday, about 200 more than the day before, highlighting the severity of the ongoing migrant crisis.
