The new Slovak government has announced a big deployment of police and armed forces along the border with Hungary to prevent migrants entering the country. Prime Minister Robert Fico did not immediately give details of the deployment but said that illegal migration must be controlled, or else people linked to "terrorist" groups could enter Slovakia. The deployment is to start late on October 30, Fico said, adding that he will personally inspect the situation at the border.
