Czech soldiers could guard Hungary's borders
The Czech Republic's interior minister says his country could send more than 100 police officers and soldiers to help Hungary defend its European Union borders.
Milan Chovanec said Friday that the matter will be discussed Oct. 8 at a meeting with his counterparts from Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.
Earlier, Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said on Twitter that the Czech government is "ready to help Hungary with the protection of the Schengen border."
All four countries in the so-called Visegrad Group, or V4, are in the EU's Schengen zone of passport-free travel.
