The Hungarian Prime Minister ordered a nationwide referendum on October 2 which will see the Hungarian people asked if they want to accept any future EU mandatory quote system for resettling migrants.
Mr Orban has been at the forefront of a wave of anti-EU sentiment sweeping the bloc.
Hungary has registered more than 19,000 asylum applications this year and it’s believed more than 14,000 migrants have crossed its southern borders illegally.
Mr Orban said: “We don’t want to change the character of our country.
“We want to remain Hungarian, to keep our religious and ethnic composition. That view isn’t popular in Europe nowadays, at least among politicians.
“They want to force rules on member states that are in conflict with their interests, including Hungary’s. We are preparing for a conflict.”
