Austrian FM: Migrant exodus a 'wake up call' for Europe

Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz said Saturday the plight of thousands of migrants stranded in Hungary, now being taken into his country, was a "wake up call" for Europe.

"This has to be an eye opener how messed up the situation in Europe is now," Kurz said as he arrived for informal talks with his EU peers dominated by the deepening refugee crisis.

"I hope that this serves as a wake up call that (the situation) cannot continue."

Thousands of exhausted migrants were streaming into Austria from Hungary early Saturday.
