There was another shooting along the southern border in Vojvodina. Human trafficking gangs may have attacked each other in the Makkhetes forest in Svatka, and one person was injured. The arriving police took almost 200 immigrants out of the forest. Migrants camping in the area increasingly have weapons, because human traffickers often attack them and even each other because of the money, M1 News reported.

The migrants say: they were scared of human traffickers, that's why they ran away from the forest. On Friday afternoon, more shots were fired near the Hungarian border. The gunshots were also heard by the locals.

Dozens of migrants came out of the trees on Saturday morning as well. The forest roads were completely occupied, it was impossible to walk away from them. One of them told the news station: there are terrorists in the forest and the situation is untenable because they threaten with weapons and demand money.

"The forest is full of terrorists, they have guns, they walk around with Kalashnikovs. They want money from everyone, but I don't pay. I was also threatened." said a migrant.

The Makkhetes forest was invaded by migrants - György Bakondi spoke about this after the incident. The prime minister's chief adviser on internal security reminded him that there had already been an armed clash that claimed human life at the same location.

"These clashes are being waged by competing gangs in order to reap the business benefits from human trafficking in the given region. This also shows that, by the way, the arrivals have nothing to do with the so-called refugees, since they are trying to get through illegally, disregarding the rules of the Union and Hungary, with the help of organized crime, paying very large sums of money." György Bakondi said.

Due to illegal immigration, a Hungarian-Austrian-Serbian summit will be held on Monday. Among the migration routes to Europe, the Western Balkans saw the greatest increase in pressure. While the Hungarian authorities took action against a total of 81,000 illegal immigrants last year, this year the number of migrants is already close to 190,000.
