    “One of the first decisions of the government must be an order renewing border controls with Hungary,” Fico told a news conference. “It will not be a pretty picture,” he said, adding force would be needed on the 655km (407 miles) border.

    Given that both countries are in the EU, how on earth does he expect to control the border?

        We are a transit country for most of migrants. If Czech/ german / polish borders are closed they can’t pass through our country so it makes sense to close down borders as well. Both parties would do it. I hate Fico just fyi
