- 19 Nov 2013 8:00 AM
Migration is no longer just a humanitarian problem, but a security policy challenge, Foreign Minister János Martonyi told reporters in Brussels yesterday after EU foreign ministers held an informal debate on the subject.
Hungary ranks second in the EU in migrants per capita, as the number of migrants seeking asylum in Hungary soared last year.
Sweden ranks highest, with 955 applications per one million inhabitants, but Hungary was close behind at 950.
