The European Union’s top migration official is seeking answers from Hungary about a work visa program open to citizens from Russia and Belarus.
The European Union’s top migration official expressed concern on Wednesday about a Hungarian work visa program open to citizens from Russia and Belarus, just as sabotage attacks and spying allegations raise alarm across Europe. Hungary extended its National Card program to citizens from Russia and Belarus as it took over the EU’s rotating presidency in July.
“This is a time for more vigilance, not less. This is not a time to be soft on security,” she said, adding that safe travel within the passport-free zone linking 29 countries, most of them EU nations, could be undermined. “We must keep each other safe.” Early last month, Johansson sent a letter to Hungary seeking clarification about its National Card, notably whether the program imposes stricter security checks on Russian and Belarus nationals.
