Hungary, Serbia: Tragedy At The Border

This weekend, several Hungarian and Serbian media outlets referred to a daily newspaper of Pristina, Koha Ditore (ALB), as having specific information on the illegal border crossing case that happened earlier this month. A Serbia-based Hungarian website, Magyar Szó (HUN), wrote that, according to Koha Ditore, Ismet R., suspected of smuggling a group of Kosovo Albanians, was arrested in Kosovska Mitrovica. Most of the news reports mentioned that 15 people drowned in the Tisza River as they were trying to cross the border, but the only adult survivor, Agron Rama, admitted that the group consisted of some 19 people (SRP, ENG).

According to one of the first reports (HUN), published by a southern Hungarian news site Délmagyar.hu (HUN) about the case of 15 illegal immigrants disappeared in the Tisza River at the Hungarian-Serbian border, a member of the group who tried to cross the river, father of a 2-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl, was the one to call the police from a public payphone in the border village, Röszke, at dawn on Oct. 15.MORE
