Serbian PM 'shocked' at Hungary's plan for migrant fence

Aleksandar Vucic said the four-metre (13ft) fence was "not the solution" to migrants entering Hungary from Serbia. Hungarian authorities announced the plan on Wednesday, saying the wall would run the length of the 175km (109-mile) border between the countries. Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said Hungary could not wait for the EU to find a solution to immigration. Speaking on TV during a visit to Oslo, Mr Vucic said: "I am surprised and shocked. We will discuss this decision with our Hungarian colleagues. "Building walls is not the solution. Serbia can't be responsible for the situation created by the migrants, we are just a transit country.

Mr Vucic said he intended to discuss the move with Serbia's partners in the EU.
