Hungary's National Security Committee will meet on Monday, and according to Mandiner sources, that's when Mate Kocsis will formally present the proposal, he announced at a press conference on Thursday. The Fidesz parliamentary group leader said that

he will initiate the public release of the recently prepared secret service report on the terrorism risks of migration.

Public release is to be decided by the intelligence services at the request of the parliamentary body, as is the official procedure.

"The security of border protection personnel is in real jeopardy and the primary responsibility of Parliament and the government to protect its citizens,"

he noted, stating that everyone needs to see what is happening regarding migration, and "the terrorism risks threatening Hungary and the whole continent".

Serious threats at the border

There was a fatal shooting Friday at dawn in Horgos, not far from Hungary's southern border, as Magyar Nemzet was among the first to report. Several people were injured and three migrants were killed in the clash, police confirmed to Serbian public television.

According to the latest information, the Serbian gendarmerie units have apprehended the illegal immigrants and are in the process of relocating them from the area around the settlement. Kanjiza (Magyarkanizsa) Deputy Mayor Nebojsa Rakic said illegal immigrants are being transported away by buses and other vehicles.
