Any decision to use military force would have to be based on parliamentary approval, Mr Kovacs said, adding that the Hungarian parliament would discuss the matter next week.
“The Hungarian government and national security cabinet have discussed how to deploy the army to help protect the national border and the EU border,” Mr Kovacs added.
A surge of migrants, many from Syria, rushed to Hungary’s southern border on August 25, trying to force their way through gaps in the incomplete fence to reach Europe, which is groping for answers to its worst migration crisis since World War II.
