"For several days now, Russians have been able to enter the EU through Hungary without any security checks and move freely to other EU countries. This became possible thanks to the registration of workers in Hungary, which Prime Minister Viktor Orban expanded in July to include people from Russia and Belarus," RND said.
The publication notes that in the spring, the Hungarian government announced that it expects about 65,000 migrant workers. They can bring their families with them and apply for permanent residence in three years.
RND points out that "Hungary has caused discontent in the EU with new provocations".
The newspaper notes that "there is now great concern that Russian spies could also enter the EU or that the Kremlin could be specifically ferrying Russians to the EU for attacks.
