PRAGUE, September 25. /TASS/. Hungary will finish erecting a barbed-wire fence on the border with Croatia in a couple of days in an effort to stop refugees from sneaking through the country's territory, local radio reported on Friday.

The Croatian radio said the fence is up to 1.5 meters high. "The works will be completed in early next week," the report said.

The effort involves troops and police personnel.

Over half a million migrants from the Middle East and North Africa have crossed the EU’s border since the start of 2015, according to the European Commission.
