Hungary to close railway crossings with Croatia
Hungary`s interior minister says his country is closing down three railway border crossings with neighboring Croatia to block any possible entry of migrants.
Sandor Pinter said Friday that the crossings will be closed because Croatian authorities have sent a train full of migrants toward Hungary under police escort.

Pinter did not say when exactly the crossings are to be closed or when the train was sent. Local media have reported the border crossings will remain shut for 30 days.

Tens of thousands of migrants crossed over to Hungary from Croatia last year before Hungary built a razor wire fence and decided to close down its borders for migrants in October, diverting the flow to Slovenia.
