Hungary to Open New Refugee Center Amid Migrant Crisis
MOSCOW (Sputnik) Around 150 cars are on their way from Austria to pick up refugees in Hungary, Die Welt’s correspondent wrote on Twitter on Sunday.

"Actually only 150 as I now see," Boris Kalnoky said.

Earlier, the journalist believed that there were 250 vehicles heading to Hungary.

Europe is currently experiencing a large-scale migration crisis, as thousands of refugees attempt to cross into the bloc, fleeing violence and poverty in their home countries.

After almost a week of unrest outside of Budapest’s main train station, as well as several breakouts from refugee camps, Hungary let thousands of refugees board buses and go to Austria and Germany on Friday.

However, Budapest announced Saturday that it was not planning to send any more buses.

Numerous refugees remain in Hungary, and some have even staged a protest in a reception camp demanding to be taken to Germany.

According to media reports, few refugees plan on staying in Austria, despite the government’s readiness to accept them. The majority of migrants are expected to apply for asylum in Germany, Sweden and elsewhere in Western Europe.
