Hungary Spends HUF 2bn On Immigrants In H1
In the first half of 2015, Hungary’s immigration office spent a total 2 billion forints (EUR 6.4m) on services for migrants in the country, twice as much as last year, the head of the authority told public television M1. Zsuzsanna Végh said that the cost of medical tests, necessary to reduce the risk of possible epidemics, could amount to several hundred million forints during the year.

The government has allocated 10 billion forints in extra funding to the immigration office with regard to the current influx of illegal entrants.
