Hungary May Sue EU for Border Protection Expenses

Hungary is considering legal action to compel the European Union's executive commission to reimburse the costs it has incurred for border protection, according to a minister's statement on Thursday. This move could intensify Hungary's ongoing dispute with the EU over its stringent immigration and asylum policies, reports AP.

The Hungarian government has directed its Minister for European Affairs to enter into negotiations with the European Commission to address the issue. This conflict follows Hungary being fined 200 million euros for not adhering to the EU's asylum regulations, as reported by Gergely Gulyás, chief of staff to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, during a news conference.
