Nickelsdorf, Austria, September 2015
Thousands of refugees crossed the Austrian – Hungarian border at Nickelsdorf after some EU countries were sending them from one country to another. Hungary built a 170 km , 4 meter high fence at its border to Serbia to keep refugees out arriving on the Balkan route and is working on fences on the Romanian and on the Croatian side. Croatia doesn’t want the refugees either and is sending them back to Hungary. Hungary, at its turn, is sending them to Austrian border where the asylum seekers cross at Hegyeshalom / Nickelsdorf by foot. The Austrian authorities that actually planned a border control, gave up on this idea when thousands of refugees arrived and just let them in and organised buses that would take the people to shelters.

Röszke, Serbian-Hungarian border, September 2015
Thousands of refugees crossed the Serbian-Hungarian border by foot at Röszke before Hungary closed the border and asylum seekers have to take a different route to arrive to their destinations in Europe. Hungary built a 170 km long and 4 meter high fence to keep out the immigrants arriving from the war-torn zones of Middle East and Afghanistan.
