Interior ministers of Hungary and Serbia met at the Roszke-Horgos border crossing point on Monday, PannonRTV reported. At the meeting, the ministers agreed that in order to facilitate the exchange of information between the authorities on illegal immigration, a Hungarian police officer will always be on the ground in Serbia when Serbian colleagues arrest human traffickers.
The parties also adopted a proposal to set up a joint task force involving the two interior ministries to tackle migration more effectively. Representatives from Serbia's interior ministry tabled
a proposal for the faster cross-border transit of goods and passenger vehicles and for customs and passport controls on future trains on the Budapest-Belgrade railway line.
Raids continue in Serbia

A series of police actions have been ongoing since Friday morning's showdown among migrants that took place in Horgos, the newspaper writes. The authorities are doing checks on taxi drivers and accommodation providers and have combed through forty-three buildings occupied by illegal immigrants throughout Vojvodina.
