The number of border police will increase by 600 before the end of this year, interior ministry state secretary Karoly Kontrat said on Sunday at the new police headquarters currently under construction in Balatonalmadi in western Hungary.
The new border police will be introduced in service mainly at Hungary's border with Serbia where the number of illegal crossings has increased significantly, from 2,700 in 2012 to more than 15,000 in the first nine months of 2013, Kontrat told the press.
Kontrat said this is expected to further increase Hungarians' sense of security.
He noted that in 2010, the government promised to increase the number of police and over the past three years and a half, some 3,500 new police have been introduced in service.
The new police headquarters in Balatonalmadi will be built at total cost of 595 million forints and is scheduled to be opened next spring, he said.
