BUDAPEST, Hungary
The European Union’s border control agency, Frontex, is suspending operations in Hungary after the government in Budapest did not comply with a December ruling by Europe’s highest court, an agency spokesperson said Wednesday.
Frontex spokesperson Chris Borowski told The Associated Press that the unprecedented decision followed Hungary’s failure to honor the European Court of Justice ruling, which said the government had not fulfilled its EU obligations to provide international protection to asylum-seekers.
The court also found that border officers had illegally pushed migrants found in Hungary without authorization into neighboring Serbia, violating EU rules requiring member nations to accept and evaluate asylum applications.
