Hungary started construction of a 4-meter-high (13 feet) fence on its border with Serbia to stop an influx of migrants trying to enter the European Union via the country’s southern border.
Hungarian soldiers began work on a 150-meter test section at Morahalom, 184 kilometers south of Budapest, the Interior Ministry said in a statement on the government’s website on Monday. The administration plans to have a fence spanning the entire 175-kilometer Hungarian-Serb border.
