Hungary’s Double Migration Crisis Is also Europe’s Problem

Summary/Abstract: Most of the international media coverage of the European Union’s migration crisis concentrates on the flow of African and Middle Eastern people across the Mediterranean to southern Italy or Greece. Dramatic sea-rescues and the tragedy of frequent drowning grab headlines and sympathetic coverage. But through the Balkans another wave of migration into the EU has been gathering pace in 2015. Hungary is the EU’s frontline state whose southern border with Serbia is the point of access to the EU’s Schengen zone for tens of thousands of migrants. The 54,000 or so who have been accepted in Hungary are at least as many per capita as Italy has received so far this year.
