A group of asylum-seekers cut through the anti-immigration border fence under construction on Hungary’s border with Serbia near the settlement of Ásotthalom at night, according to information obtained by the state news channel M1. Police caught all 18 members of the group after vandalising the fence to get into Hungary […]. Material costs implied by the fence have been estimated at HUF 6.5bn, with the government deciding to allocate a further HUF 22.2bn to its construction. According to the government spokesman, around HUF 3bn will be needed for the fence itself out of the HUF 22.2bn framework, meaning that the cost of the fence will total around HUF 9.5-10bn (USD 35.7m).
