No fence nor barbed wire blocks their entry into Hungary along the tracks.

Serbian police officers tell the migrants which direction to take a few hundred metres before the Hungarian border, Népszabadság writes.

State news channel M1 reported Tuesday evening that hundreds of people were taken to a hangar by police near Röszke, where their data are registered.

Many are then taken away in cars after parting with hundreds of euros, according to M1 television.

An estimated 7,000-8,000 refugees arrive in Serbia every day.

Police and border guards stopped 1,930 of them in the southern part of Csongrád county on Monday.

A New York Times report quotes Syrian, Afghan and other refugees as saying that they have “accelerated their race to the north” before the entire Hungary-Serbia border is sealed off on August 31.
