On Friday, at an extraordinary summit of the Visegrad group (V4: Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia) the Visegrad 4 prime ministers concurred that all EU member states should contribute to finding "adequate and long-term solutions" to the migrant crisis. The leaders conveyed their full support to Hungary, which belongs among the states facing the greatest migration pressure but rejected the mechanisms of mandatory quotas. They instead demand better protection of the external borders of the Schengen Area, more efficient fighting against smugglers, better policy in returning refugees to the country of their origin, and they also support the international coalition in the fight against the Islamic State.
