The Slovakian-Hungarian conflict escalates

 

The conflict between Slovakia and Hungary has reached a new level of intensity. For the first time Hungarian right-wing extremists have blocked five border crossings with Slovakia - in protest at the arrest on the weekend of 28 members of the paramilitary "Hungarian Guard". The press in both countries looks for culprits and asks how the crisis can be defused.
