Belgrade "won't accept" migrants forcibly turned back

Vulin said that Belgrade will seek "an explanation from Hungarian colleagues about the new law," adding, "no country can impose obligations onto another."

"If Serbia behaved like that, there would be a domino effect from here to Turkey," the minister remarked as he spoke to reporters.

According to Vulin, the new Hungarian legislation is "not something that can be implemented." He also stressed that Serbia's authorities "will not allow anyone's forcible transfer from Hungary or any other country to the territory of Serbia."

"There are laws that are above national legislation, therefore, there are international laws, and it is known in what way a person can be sent back from some country. As far as we are concerned only international law will apply in that regard to relations between Hungary and Serbia," said Vulin.

He added that Serbia will not be "a parking lot for migrants, a space that people will be sent to just because someone decided to do it."

Vulin said that the new Hungarian law implies that persons could be sent back to the Serbian territory "even without an agreement, a deal, talks and international law," and described this as "absolutely unacceptable to us."

"Serbia cannot allow anyone to pass laws that create an obligation for it, and we will not accept such an obligation," said Vulin.

Asked whether the readmission agreement between the two countries is functioning, he said that it was - but applied only to Serbian and Hungarian citizens.

"There is no readmission agreement that applies to nationals of other countries," said Vulin.
