European Leaders Unite to Tackle Illegal Migration Challenges

On Tuesday, leaders from Slovakia, Hungary, and Serbia will convene to discuss approaches to curbing illegal migration into the European Union. Discussions will focus on collaboration with Balkan states, enhancing border protection, and possibly employing external processing centers, as European countries aim to manage migration efficiently.

In an effort to tackle illegal migration, leaders from Slovakia, Hungary, and Serbia are set to meet on Tuesday. The meeting, announced by the Slovak government office, aims to explore new measures for protecting the European Union's borders.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, both known for their stringent stance on immigration, will engage with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic in Komarno, Slovakia. The talks will revolve around enhancing border security, supporting asylum procedures, and aligning visa policies with EU standards.

One potential solution under consideration is the establishment of external processing centers, inspired by Italy's agreement with Albania. With a decrease in illegal crossings in the western Balkans, focus shifts to controlling rising numbers of migrants stopped at the Hungarian border.
