How odd. Why so many in Hungary?

Maybe ethnic Hungarians from former Yugoslavia?  Only possible explanation I can think of.

That's really more of a lateral move.

The map basically just shows who takes the most refugees relative to population. If there was a proper quota system in place it should obviously also take into account the logistic situation in each country. E.g. Germany And Austria are better equipped to deal with boat loads of refugees than Romania and Croatia.

All that is missing are the D-Day landings.

[The Brain]

Hold the Festung!

And the Hungarians have reversed their decision.

Serb fail.
But still seems odd.
Croatia is there too. And that the Yugoslav borders would be so easy... Greeks are letting them go?

Greeks are letting them go?

I think we can pretty safely assume that is the case.

This is the Greeks. They could be trying but falling foul of corruption or just plain failing

True.

How odd. Why so many in Hungary?

and surprising so few for the south

If you're going to smuggle yourself, might as well go to a successful country.

Again, why so many in Hungary?

Still better than Kosovo, Iraq or Syria, I guess.

A lot of Kosovar (?) refugees ended up in Argentina-- during one of their financial crises.  I remember looking at them and thinking man, you really fucked up coming here.  Still a little better, I suppose.

Isn't Hungary a part of Schengen? Once you're in you're not going to meet a border until you're in Denmark or Sweden.

But if you're detected you have to stay in Hungary, a big risk.

Following the G7, Bavaria is intensifying its opst border controls. 1400 plainclothes cops will check travellers along the main entry roads from Czech Rep. and Austria. Their mandate is to verify the ID of anyone, with or without suspicion. Other border states are doing similar (and Bavaria has done this for years on smaller scale).
