The Government Spokesperson said that as of Tuesday evening, 107 678 illegal immigrants had crossed the border into Hungary this year.

He said that establishment of the two temporary reception centres in Martonfa (Baranya County) and Sormás (Zala County) – each to have a capacity of one thousand people – was unavoidable, but both will be located outside inhabited areas.

In response to a question, Mr. Kovács said that experts and authorities involved in the process had found the Martonfa and Sormás locations to be the most suitable from among the options considered.
