The Hungarian state news agency (MTI) reports that Kovács said Minister of Interior Sándor Pintér proposed last week that the government should extend the state of crisis, due to expire on September 7. Europe’s terror threat is well-known.”

“Since the initiation of the state of crisis, the Counter Terrorism Centre (TEK) has not learned of any information indicating an act of terror threatening Hungarian citizens or Hungary.
The Government of Hungary has decided to extend the state of emergency declared last year because of the increased migration to and through the country. Government spokesman Zoltán Kovács stated that strict border controls were still needed because the "threat of terrorism in Europe has increased".
