The declaration takes note of the unified situation assessment, which facilitates the quick and joint mobilization of civilian, police and military capabilities, and states that the most important task is the protection of the external borders of the EU and the elimination of the root causes of migration in the sending countries.<\/p>\n<p>It underlines that the CEDC member countries are willing to further enhance their cooperation and, if needed, to provide mutual assistance in the interest of managing the migration crisis. The declaration also emphasizes the importance of preserving stability in the Western Balkans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Central Europe stands firmly against migrants redistribution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This streghtened cooperation comes at the same time than some new strong declarations fo Viktor Orb\u00e1n, as he pursues his fight with Brussels on the 2 years old topic.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of a two-day meeting in Brussels, the Hungarian Prime Minister told the press that Western European member states want to \u201cget rid of the migrants they unjustifiably let in\u201d by distributing them among countries, such as Hungary, that protected themselves and refused to let in any migrants.<\/p>\n<p>He said he expected member states to reach a consensus on this issue, arguing that most of them agree with a proposal to set up refugee camps along Libya\u2019s northern and southern borders, where economic migrants should be separated from refugees. These camps should also be the place where migrants are registered, subjected to anti-terror screening, he added. Once these procedures are taken care of, only those whose identities are confirmed and who are known not to pose a security risk will be allowed to set foot in Europe, Orb\u00e1n said.<\/p>\n<p>A position that the Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz agrees with. On Tuesday, June 13, he told the press once again his will to make deals with Egypt and Tunisia to bring people intercepted in the Mediterranean Sea in specially-established refugee reception centers set in these countries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Central Europe will not negotiate on migration, which can be handled if there is a will to do so<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the several declarations of different ministers from all V4 countries aiming to let know western elites that Central European countries prefer to face sanctions than taking in migrants, Central European leaders made clear that no negotiation on the migration topic would take place.<\/p>\n<p>During the oath-taking ceremony of 1,206 border police officers in Budapest\u2019s Heroes Square, Viktor Orb\u00e1n said Hungary is the first to prove that \u201cmigration, so far believed to be uncontrollable, can be controlled, stopped, and reversed\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>PM Orb\u00e1n also said that unless a country has border control and \u201cbrave border police\u201d there will be \u201cno welfare, security, order or development just uncertainty, fear, chaos, anger and trucks driving into the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the successful popular consultation initiated by the Hungarian government, Orb\u00e1n has the more arguments against the Western elites\u2019 scheme: \u201cCountries now experimenting with the creation of Eurabia \u2013 or with the amalgamation of the remnants of Islamic and Christian culture \u2013 will now have to recognize that it\u2019s not only the Hungarian government who don\u2019t want to take part in such experiments, but that the Hungarian people have declared this in every form possible at every opportunity\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Czechia, Prague \u2013 Central European nations representatives met\u00a0again\u00a0to enforce their plan against mass migration coming to Europe.
