Bulgaria: Hungary Proposes to Send Police to Help Serbia Guard Borders against Migrants Migrants on their way to European Union countries gather in a park as they pass through Belgrade, Serbia, 19 August 2016.

Hungary has offered to send police to Serbia's borders with Macedonia and Bulgaria to help the authorities in Belgrade stem the flow of irregular migrants into Western Europe.

"Hungary proposed to help Serbia guard its (southern) borders ... with police and legal help," Reuters quoted Interior Minister Sandor Pinter as saying on Thursday after a meeting with his Serbian counterpart Nebojsa Stefanovic on the Serbian side of the border.

Stefanovic has said the two Interior Ministries were ready to assess where additional police would be most needed when the worsening weather forces migrants to switch to land routes from sea.
