The Hungarian government is going to build barriers on the border with Serbia to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the country. The government's plan calls for the construction of a wall four meters high and 175 kilometers long. The Minister of the Interior of Hungary was entrusted with developing the project.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said his country cannot wait for the European Union to take effective measures to combat immigration. According to the Hungarian government, since the beginning of 2015, 54,000 immigrants have arrived in the country. In 2014, there were 43,000 of them.

In January alone, the police counted 10,000 people who illegally crossed the border.

The fight against illegal immigration is one of the main slogans of the Hungarian government headed by Prime Minister Viktor Orban. In particular, a campaign was launched in the country, within which billboards were installed “If you come to Hungary, do not take away work from Hungarians” and “If you come to Hungary, respect our laws.” The country's government has been repeatedly accused of inciting xenophobia.
The UN Refugee Agency, in response to a government campaign , decided to install its own billboards in Hungary, which show how immigrants open restaurants, work in kindergartens and even play for the Hungarian cricket team. In addition, Hungary raised 100 thousand euros in a week for a public campaign, the participants of which are going to put up posters with slogans such as "If you are the Prime Minister of Hungary, respect our laws."
