UK to take in 20,000 refugees, France to take 24,000, as Hungarian MP warns of terror threat

Mr Tuzson said borders must be controlled to protect all EU countries, including Ireland.

Speaking on the Serbian-Hungarian border, he said the authorities did not know who was coming through, and that there needed to be more controls.

"We don't know who are coming through the border and that's why it's very important to control (the people coming through)," he said.

"If somebody is coming through the Hungarian border, he is here in the European Union; he is here in Hungary, Austria, Germany, Ireland, Spain - everywhere."
