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 claims to support peace but actually backs the war led by Putin," stated US Ambassador to Budapest, David Pressman, following the recent trip of Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó to St. Petersburg, as reported by the Guardian.

He made the statement on Sunday, in the wake of Saturday's "summit" on the refugee crisis, held in Vienna.

The event offers citizens the opportunity to meet EU-funded researchers, participate in discussions about research and visit an exhibition of exciting scientific discoveries and innovations.
