Austria, Germany to Allow Migrants and Refugees Into Countries

Migrants and refugees stranded in Hungary will be allowed into Austria and Germany, Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann said in a Facebook post early Saturday.

"Because of today's emergency situation on the Hungarian border, Austria and Germany agree in this case to a continuation of the refugees' journey into their countries," Faymann said in the post, Reuters reported.

Hundreds of migrants and refugees refused to wait for permission to get onto trains and began walking to Austria. Earlier, Hungary said it would send a fleet of buses to the main Keletic train station in Budapest to bring the people to Vienna. 

Over 1,200 people walked all day and into the night along the highway to reach Vienna.
