It is reported by EUobserver.

Also the head of the Austrian police Helmut Tomak noted that it is important not only not to allow migrants to illegally cross borders, but, first of all, to preserve human lives.

Tomak speaks of the case when two migrants were found dead in a freight train last year.

Strengthening security on the southern borders of Austria is part of a broad operation to prevent migration to the EU.

Every month, about 700-1000 migrants illegally cross the border from Italy, most on freight trains.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, in the world there are about 23 million potential migrants - IOM. At least 23 million people in the world plan to leave their country of residence and go abroad.
