Dmitris Avramopoulos, the European Union’s commissioner for migration, home affairs and citizenship is to visit Budapest in the near future to conduct “serious talks” with Hungarian officials, a spokesperson told AFP on Wednesday.
The talks will precede renewed legal scrutiny of Hungary’s newly accepted legislation tightening the asylum procedure, the spokesperson said.
The decision comes after a statement from the Council of Europe, saying on Wednesday that the legislation infringes upon the European Convention of Human Rights.
