Hungary has sent a new police unit to help patrol the Macedonian-Greek border. The 25-strong unit will serve at the post for a month, the chief of Hungary’s national police said, at a ceremony in Budapest.
This is the sixth contingent Hungary is sending to Macedonia, Károly Papp said, noting that 78 Hungarian police officers served there on five previous missions before.
Over the past 12 months about 270 Hungarian police officers have served on foreign missions in ten countries, including Slovenia, Serbia and Greece in addition to Macedonia.
