"We are ready to erect a technical barrier on the Romanian border as well... today there is significant chance that this cannot be avoided," Janos Lazar told a news conference, Reuters wrote.

Lazar also said Hungary and the Visegrad group of Central European countries respected a proposal that the flow of migrants should be primarily tackled on the borders of Greece.

"The real debate is about whether we help the Balkans countries or not," Lazar said, adding that if there was no second line of defense between Greece and the Schengen border, then Europe would leave Balkans countries on their own.
