Budapest has even revealed it is considering building a third wall to defend its borders.

The state claims its migrant camps on the edge of the territory are full with around 10,000 refugees already in the country.

The delcaration of a crisis situation comes after the Balkan routes were closed for migrants, while Slovenia declared it was bringing in stricter checks on those heading from the Middle East and Africa.

Hungary’s minister of Interior, Sandor Pinter, said: “We don’t know how the migrants will react after closing the Balkan routes.”

He added: “1,500 troops from the army are taking part in this action, so if the migrants would appear at the borders, we will be able to stop them.
