When entering Hungary, refugees are given a statement in Hungarian saying that they ask the government not to declare Serbia as a safe country in their case, so they can be granted asylum here, the daily reported.
Apparently, refugees realized that most requests will be rejected, and they will be sent back to Serbia, as the Hungarian government has declared Serbia a safe country.
New border protection laws that go into effect allow for rapid decisions in these cases, which can mean that asylum seekers coming from Serbia can be sent back in a matter of hours.
The demonstration was started by about 50-70 refugees, and hundreds of them began to block the road going from Hungary to Serbia, not letting cars pass, index.hu reported. Then they declared a hunger strike. The police have not intervened yet, the daily reported.
