Hungary has fulfilled the conditions that make it eligible for EU support and these have nothing to do with illegal migration, Szijjártó said in a statement.

If European leaders are spending their time blackmailing each other, then they are weakening Europe which is unacceptable, especially in a crisisridden period, he added.

Commenting on Austria introducing stricter regulations on migration, Szijjártó said it was “better late than never.”

Illegal migration is a much more serious problem than to allow Europe to be “a captive of political correctness” for a year, he added.
