Hungary, Croatia To Reopen Railway Border Crossings
- 8 Mar 2016 8:00 AM
Hungary’s interior minister Sándor Pintér and his Croatian counterpart Vlaho Orepic announced that the three railway border crossings between the countries will be reopened. The three crossings—Murakeresztúr- Kotoriba, Gyékényes-Koprivnica and Magyarbóly-Beli Manastir—were closed because of the refugee crisis in the middle of last October.
The two interior ministers said that the move indicates the improved bilateral relations in their fields.
Cooperation could continue in the areas of tourism and mine sweeping, Orepic said.
Pintér said that the talks helped to sort out controversies, noting that former cooperation, including Hungarian policemen patrolling at resorts on the Adriatic, joint border patrolling and cooperation in combating crime, was interrupted by the migrant crisis.
