Austria Slams Hungary Over Its Refugee Stance, Budapest Strikes Back
BUDAPEST (Sputnik) Hungary will open another migrant camp in the south, as migrants continue entering the country, government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs said Sunday.

"Given the constant influx of new refugees, a decision has been made to open another camp," Kovacs said.

According to the spokesman, the new camp will be located near the border with Serbia, and will be able to accommodate 1,000 people.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said earlier that nearly 3,300 refugees arrived in Hungary on Saturday alone.

After almost a week of unrest outside of Budapest’s main train station, as well as several breakouts from refugee camps, Hungary let thousands of refugees board buses and go to Austria and Germany on Friday.

The European Union, including Hungary, has been struggling with a massive crisis as tens of thousands of migrants try to enter the bloc, fleeing violence in their home countries, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa.

Hungary has found itself at the epicenter of an unprecedented crisis, with 156,000 undocumented migrants having arrived in the country so far this year.
