Hungary's PM says EU leaders did 'battle' over migration

BRUSSELS (AP) — Hungary's prime minister used war metaphors Friday to describe the scale of the division over migration issues in the European Union as countries in central and eastern Europe held out against taking in more refugees.

Smiling, he said: "It's 12:40 a.m. We struggled with each other til now. It was close combat, a type of political close combat." He said the Poles, Hungarians, Czechs and Slovaks "did well in battle" against those wanting them to take in refugees languishing in camps in Italy and Greece.
