Stronger movements have been detected on migration routes from the Western Balkan recently. According to the data received from the National Police Headquarters the situation has deteriorated in recent weeks and nearly 1,000 migrants were registered along the border on a daily basis. This number has been constantly growing over the past week and daily figures exceeded 1,000 and amounted to nearly 1,500 people a day. Most of the undocumented migrants arrive in Hungary in the Southern part of the country, in Csongrad County which lies near the border of Serbia. The majority of migrants from Middle-East war torn areas and from countries of Africa cross the border from Serbia to Hungary, thus arriving in the European Union. The total number of migrants entering the country in 2015 is expected to rise above 140,000. Aproximate Location:: Can't see the map?
