By Julian Robinson
A record 5,809 migrants entered Hungary in a new surge on Sunday, smashing the previous day's record of 4,330
Increase came ahead of laws coming into force tomorrow under which those entering Hungary illegally can be jailed
Reports that Serbia will 'push through' as many as 30,000 migrants on Monday before tough new laws are rolled out
Germany's Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel said today that the country may take in up to a million refugees this year
Hungary has blocked the main crossing point from Serbia used by migrants as Austria, Slovakia and the Netherlands imposed border controls today.
Police closed a gap in the razor-wire barrier along the Hungary-Serbia border as other officers formed a human shield to block off railway tracks.
The move comes after it emerged that Hungary was bracing itself for a massive surge of up to 30,000 migrants in just one day.
It comes as Serbia attempts a huge 'push through' before its neighbour introduces tough new border rules.
A record 5,809 migrants entered Hungary in a new surge on Sunday, smashing the previous day's record of 4,330, Hungarian police have revealed.
The sharp increase came ahead of laws coming into force tomorrow under which people entering the EU country illegally can be jailed.

Index.hu reported that Hungary's neighbour Serbia would try to 'push through' as many as 30,000 migrants on Monday before the new Hungarian laws come in to force.
Hungarian official sources are quoted as saying Serbia would speed up the provision of buses for the migrants, who enter Serbia from Macedonia after leaving Greece.
Meanwhile, European Union members are on collision course today over proposals to distribute asylum-seekers across the continent - a plan backed by safe-haven Germany but resisted by several states in the east.
Once in Hungary, most migrants seek to travel onto western Europe, particularly to Germany and Sweden, via Austria.
But with tens of thousands crossing its frontiers, German authorities on Sunday decided to reinstate border controls, and all trains between Austria and Germany were temporarily suspended, leaving thousands effectively stranded in Austria.
In addition to the new laws, Hungary is also building a controversial 13ft fence all along its 110-mile border with Serbia.
