Refugee fence needs to be built faster, says Hungary's leader

Hungary’s prime minister says he wants to speed up construction of a fence meant to stop refugees on the southern border with Serbia – a project which has missed two previous deadlines.

Viktor Orban was quoted in the pro-government Magyar Idok (Hungarian Times) daily newspaper as saying he was persuaded of the need for more workers on the project after an unannounced inspection of the barrier on Monday with his chief of staff, Janos Lazar.
