鐵絲網,臨時人道主義援助營和邊界圍欄的一部分:來自六個歐洲國家的警察和軍事人員進行了有關如何處理試圖跨越邊界的移民的演習。
來自捷克共和國,斯洛文尼亞,斯洛伐克,克羅地亞和奧地利的部隊前往匈牙利參加了四天的訓練,該野戰賽車在維斯茲普雷姆鎮以外,位於匈牙利首都布達佩斯西南約100公裏處。作為演習的一部分,部隊必須對一個在營地中的虛假麻疹爆發做出反應,並與移民騷亂並試圖突破邊界圍欄。

捷克共和國參與演習的第二任中尉Marek Hurta說:“這項練習將有助於我們更好,更快,更好,這對我們來說是一次很棒的經驗和機會。”
除了來自中歐國防合作國家的大約400名士兵外,還有七個歐洲國家的代表團還參加了觀察員。
匈牙利國防部長蒂博爾·本科(Tibor Benko)告訴CGTN:“在世界和歐洲,無論是在世界和歐洲,我們的安全環境都可能發生迅速變化。” “這些變化要求我們做好準備並能夠始終解決相關任務。”

在2015年移民危機期間,有40萬人越過匈牙利。從那以後,該國的民族主義政府與塞爾維亞和克羅地亞的邊界建立了籬笆。貝科說,為了歐洲的和平與安全,需要強大的邊界。總理維克多·奧爾班(Viktor Orban)製定的反移民政策經常與歐盟發生衝突。

匈牙利政府現在擔心土耳其在敘利亞北部的軍事行動可能導致大量的難民前往其家門口。安卡拉(Ankara)威脅要“打開大門”,並允許該國的360萬敘利亞難民前往歐洲,除非布魯塞爾支持其軍事進攻。
匈牙利外交部長彼得·西吉亞托(Peter Szijjarto)在最近的一次采訪中說:“在這方麵,我們將土耳其視為歐洲安全的擔保人,以照顧近400萬移民和難民。” “另一方麵,一些歐洲國家正在舉辦一場競爭,可以抨擊土耳其總統。”

Hundreds of police and military train in Hungary to prepare for migrants
Forces from the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia, Croatia and Austria travelled to Hungary to take part in four days of drills in a field just outside the town of Veszprem, located around 100 kilometers south-west of Hungarian capital Budapest. As part of the exercises, troops had to respond to a fictitious measles outbreak at a camp and deal with migrants rioting and trying to break through their border fence.
"This exercise will help us to cooperate better, quicker, nicer and it's a great experience and opportunity for us," said second lieutenant Marek Hurta, part of the Czech Republic's contingent participating in the drills.
In addition to roughly 400 troops from the Central European Defense Cooperation nations, delegations from a further seven European nations also attended as observers.
"Both in the world and in Europe, our environment of security may change very rapidly," Hungary's Defense Minister Tibor Benko told CGTN. "These changes require us to be prepared and capable to solve the related tasks at all times."
During the 2015 migrant crisis, more than 400,000 people crossed into Hungary. Since then, the country's nationalist government has erected fences along its borders with Serbia and Croatia. Benko says strong borders are needed for the sake of Europe's peace and security. Anti-migrant policies enacted by Prime Minister Viktor Orban have seen Hungary clash frequently with the European Union.

Hungary's government now fears Turkey's military operation in northern Syria could lead to a large number of refugees heading to its doorstep. Ankara has threatened to "open the gates" and allow the 3.6 million Syrian refugees in the country to travel to Europe unless Brussels supports its military offensive.
"We look at Turkey as a guarantor for European safety in this regard, in taking care of almost four million migrants and refugees," Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in a recent interview. "On the other hand, some European countries are making a competition who can bash the Turkish president more."
Szijjarto calls on the EU and Turkey to engage in greater dialogue to prevent Ankara's threat becoming a reality. If that fails, Prime Minister Orban says Hungary will be prepared to use force to repel any people who may seek to enter the country illegally.
