Welcome to Europe: The Long Journey, part 5
- 9 years ago
In part five of euronews’ special reports, James Franey travels to the Serbia-Hungary border, where a fence is being built in an attempt to deter the thousands of people trying to enter the Hungary daily.
Welcome to Europe, in 2015.
It’s not a pleasant welcome for the thousands of migrants attempting to cross into Hungary each day. A razor-wire fence stretches much of the way across the Serbian-Hungarian border. The barrier is expected to be finished by the end of August, 2015.
The Mayor of Horgos, Serbia, says between 3,000 and 5,000 people pass through the village each day.
A makeshift camp has been set up, in an attempt to house those waiting to take the next step in the journey.
“Many of the refugees will spend the night in this makeshift camp before waiting for the right moment to cross into Hungary and into the European Union,” euronews correspondent James Franey reports.
The beginning of the end?
Far from home, these migrants hope this is the beginning of the end
