BUDAPEST: The latest developments as European governments rush to cope with the huge number of people moving across Europe. All times local (CET):

1:50 pm

The European Union's executive is calling for an additional meeting of the 28 interior ministers before Oct. 8 when the bloc's nations are slated to find a solution on how to relocate about 120,000 refugees among individual member states.

Tuesday's call came after an inconclusive meeting of interior ministers where at least four eastern nations objected to the quota proposals to spread the refugees from Italy, Greece and Hungary across 22 other EU nations.

The Oct. 8 meeting has been touted as the decisive one to deal with the refugee relocation but EU leaders are also scheduled to meet in Brussels on Oct. 15-16.

1:40 pm

A spokeswoman for the UN's refugee agency says it's "deeply disappointed that more bold decisions weren't taken" at an EU meeting about Europe's migration crisis.

Melissa Fleming on Tuesday welcomed an announcement by the European Union on Monday in Brussels to increase funding for UNHCR — though it doesn't know the figure.

She said the Geneva-based UN agency is hopeful the EU will make a decision about handling the migrants crisis better in coming weeks, but "up until then I think we are going to continue to live with chaos."

The International Organization for Migration estimates that more than 464,000 migrants and refugees have crossed the Mediterranean to Europe this year. More than 181,000 of those are Syrians — mostly fleeing between Turkey and Greece.

IOM says a total of 2,182 people have died trying to make the crossing

1:25 pm

Serbia's social affairs minister in charge of migrants says a key Hungarian border crossing has to remain open amid Europe's migration crisis.

Aleksandar Vulin told The Associated Press as he toured the Hungary-Serbia border that "the Hungarians never told us that they will close the border."

Vulin, who was touring the Serbian side of the Roszke-Horgos border checkpoint, said Tuesday "this is not only a Hungarian and Serbian problem. This is a problem for the whole of Europe. Europe has to find a solution fast before the situation escalates even further. This border crossing, one of the main ones in Europe, has to remain open."

Vulin spoke on the day that Hungary put new laws into effect designed to stop the flow of migrants entering the country from Serbia.

1:15 pm

Austria is warning that the country might soon be short of emergency shelters for people streaming into the country from Hungary in Europe's migration crisis.

The Interior Ministry says that it had 20,000 places across the country as of Monday night, compared to the approximately 19,700 that needed shelter.

The ministry said that 4,000 more had arrived as of noon Tuesday (1000 GMT).

It was unclear how many would stay at least for the next few days and how many would try to travel on to Germany.

12:50 pm

Hungarian authorities say they detained 60 migrants for attempting to illegally enter the country's southern border with Serbia by breaching a razor-wire fence.

The detentions on Tuesday came as a set of new laws took effect that are meant to stop the huge flow of migrants through the country.

According to the new legislation, it is a felony to cross or damage the 4-meter (13-foot) fence that the country has built along its southern border with Serbia.

Gyorgy Bakondi, homeland security adviser to Prime Minister Viktor Orban, said authorities caught 45 people trying to cross at the southern border and 15 deeper in the country. They got across by damaging the fence and are now in police custody and are being charged with committing offenses under the new laws. Authorities are repairing the spots where the fence was damaged.

12 pm

The International Organization for Migration is predicting more deaths in the Aegean Sea and increased strains on Greece because of EU "indecision" about how to handle an influx of migrants and refugees to Europe.

IOM spokesman Leonard Doyle said Tuesday that decisions by some European countries to clamp down travel across their borders might have a "domino effect" and affect countries like Greece, where it's harder to stop people — mostly Syrian refugees — from crossing from the Turkish coast.

Some migrants have called into an anti-human trafficking phone hotline set up by IOM while they are treading water in the Aegean.

11:50 am

Turkish media say 22 people, including four children, have drowned after a 20-meter wooden boat sank off Turkey's coast.

The private Dogan agency said 211 people were rescued from Tuesday's sinking in international waters between Datca in Turkey and the Greek island of Kos. It wasn't immediately clear where the people were from, or what caused the sinking.

The incident comes two days after 34 people, including 15 children, drowned off the Greek island of Farmakonissi when the wooden boat they were on sank. Nearly 100 other people were rescued.

More than 250,000 people have entered Greece so far this year in an attempt to reach the more prosperous northern European countries. The vast majority are Syrian refugees making the perilous sea crossing from the nearby Turkish coast.

11:35 am

Hungary has declared a state of emergency in two of its southern counties bordering Serbia because of the migration crisis, giving special powers to police and other authorities.

Government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs said the decision was made at Tuesday's Cabinet meeting.

The measure also paves the way for the deployment of the army to assist police with border patrol and migrant-related duties — pending approval from parliament which is expected next week.

On Tuesday, Hungary began enforcing tougher rules on people entering the country illegally and also increased prison terms for convicted human traffickers.

11:25 am

Germany's vice chancellor says Europe has again made a fool of itself in the migration crisis and is calling for a summit soon of the 28-nation bloc's leaders.

EU interior ministers meeting Monday fell short of agreeing on the redistribution of 120,000 newcomers around the bloc — something that Germany, which has seen the biggest number of migrants, is keen to see.

Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel said Tuesday that "Europe made a fool of itself again yesterday."

He added: "Europe's heads of state and government must meet quickly, because this cannot peter out in such ministerial meetings so that we don't move one step further."

Gabriel said that "what we are experiencing now threatens Europe much more than the Greek crisis."

10:20 am

Germany's interior minister says he doesn't plan to increase his official forecast that 800,000 migrants will arrive in the country this year, after the vice chancellor said 1 million newcomers were likely.

Thomas de Maiziere told ZDF television Tuesday: "I don't want to change the figures." He added that "anything you say here leads to a strange psychological effect."

De Maiziere said in mid-August that Germany could see as many as 800,000 migrants arriving this year, four times last year's number. He said Tuesday that, in Afghanistan, some took that to mean that Germany was introducing a quota of 800,000 and they had to rush to get in.

Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel said in a letter to members of his center-left party Monday that there could be a million arrivals.

10:10 am

Germany's interior minister is backing the idea of cutting European Union funding to countries that refuse to share the burden of hosting refugees.

Several EU countries, particularly in the former Eastern bloc, have rejected calls from Germany and the EU's executive Commission for mandatory quotas to spread refugees out among the 28-nation bloc.

German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said Tuesday there needs to be discussion of how to exert pressure. He told ZDF television that the countries rejecting quotas often receive significant amounts of EU funding.

He said that Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker has suggested — "and I find that right" — that "we should talk about (them) getting less money from the structural funds."

9:50 am

Hungarian police say two crossings on the border with Serbia have been closed to all traffic as stricter rules about the entry of migrants are applied.

Col. Laszlo Balazs said Tuesday that the measure affects the smaller of two border crossings near the village of Roszke and one checkpoint at the village of Asotthalom.

Balazs said he had "no information" about where migrants seeking to apply for asylum in Hungary would be let in.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban has indicated that asylum requests from migrants trying to enter Hungary from Serbia will be rejected because Serbia is a safe country where migrants do not risk war or persecution.

Some 200,000 migrants have reached Hungary so far in 2015, nearly all by walking across the southern border with Serbia.

9:05 am

Hundreds of migrants have spent a night in tents or out in the open on the Serbian side of the border with Hungary awaiting the opening of the crossing at Roszke, which was closed shortly after midnight.

Hundreds continue to arrive, though Serbian border guards say that the crossing into Hungary will no longer be open. Two official crossings will allow migrants to cross, but will only allow in those who have applied for asylum in Serbia. Those who have not will be returned to Serbia.

Serbian officials have said they will not accept migrants back from Hungary.
