(ANSA-AFP) - BUDAPEST, 21 MAY - Hungary on Thursday
announced it would close "transit zone" camps where hundreds of
asylum seekers and migrants have been held following a ruling by
EU's top court against their detention. "The transit zone was a
solution that protected Hungary's borders, and the European
Court of Justice's ruling in this case was unfortunate. Since
Hungary is obliged to comply with the verdict, it can do nothing
but eliminate the transit zones," minister of the prime
minister's office Gergely Gulyas told a press conference. He
added that 280 people would be taken from the camps to asylum
reception centres. (ANSA-AFP). (ANSA).
