Vienna:
Austria today blasted a decision by neighboring Hungary to suspend application of a key EU asylum rule as "unacceptable" and warned of "negative" consequences.
"Austria cannot tolerate that," Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz told his Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjarto, a day after Budapest announced it was opting out of a rule requiring a migrant's claim be processed in the EU country they first arrive in.
Hungary had cited the influx of migrants for its decision, saying "the boat is full".
