Budapest, August 11 (MTI) – A new section of the border fence will be ready on the Hungarian-Serbian border by the end of the week.

The section of the razor wire fence in Csongrad County, between Asotthalom and Tiszasziget, will be ready by the weekend, Lieutenant-Colonel Ferenc Bator, the deputy commander in charge of the construction, said in Morahalom on Tuesday.
