A boy waves as migrant walk towards the border with Hungary, near the northern Serbian town of Kanjiza, on June 25, 2015. Hungary on June 25 reversed its decision to suspend a key EU rule on processing asylum claims, a day after its announcement caused concern in Brussels and elsewhere. Illegal immigrants cross Serbia on their way to other European countries as it has land access to three members of the 28-nation bloc — Romania, Hungary and Croatia. The number of immigrants entering Hungary rose from 2,000 in 2012 to 54,000 this year so far. According to official figures, 95 percent of them arrive from Serbia.
