  • Story Text: Hungarian police escorted a group of migrants walking on foot to the capital Budapest on Monday (September 7) after clashes at a camp near Roszke.
    A group of around 300 migrants broke through a police cordon around a reception camp at Roszke, on Hungary's border with Serbia, and set off down the motorway towards the capital Budapest.
    Tensions have been running high at the camp near the Serbian border, from where hundreds of migrants were hoping to board buses to continue their journey west.
    Buses were carrying small numbers of migrants to a transit camp, where migrants could register for entry into the EU's Schengen zone, but many have been forced to wait at the holding site for as many as three days with little in the way of services or support.
