The prime ministers of Hungary, Poland Slovakia and the Czech Republic, the members of Visegrad Group (VG), said in Prague on Wednesday they were ready to help Greece, North Macedonia and Serbia as the countries on 'the frontline' in the Balkan route to stop further south a new migrant wave from Turkey, the Beta news agency reported.

"The 2015 crisis must not happen again," Andrej Babis, the Czech Prime Minister, told a news conference of the VG leaders.

His Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orbán warned that the protection of Greek-Turkish border was not sufficient enough since allegedly dozens of thousands of migrants had already crossed it.

The VG prime ministers offered Greece material aid and the police force if necessary to help border's guards."We appreciate Greece's efforts to protect the EU outer boundary. And we are ready to help. We all agree on that," Babis said and added that a concrete aid would be decided on at Wednesday's meeting of the EU foreign ministers in Brussels since the measures against illegal migration had to be coordinated at the European level.

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and the outgoing Slovakian Premier Peter Pellegrini also said they were ready to send material aid and help in protecting the outer border.

Pelegrini, however, added that new quotas on the number of migrants and refugees each EU country should take in "is out of the question."
