A young Syrian man from Damascus tries to evade the Hungarian police by sneaking through a forest close to the Serbian border on Sept. 8, 2015, in Morahalom, Hungary. Many migrants fear that if they are forced to officially register and have their fingerprints taken it will stop them being able to move out of the country and further into Europe. Thousands of migrants have continued to cross into Hungary from Serbia over the past few days. Since the beginning of 2015 the number of migrants using the so-called Balkans route has exploded with migrants arriving in Greece from Turkey and then traveling on through Macedonia and Serbia before entering the EU via Hungary. The number of people leaving their homes in war-torn countries such as Syria marks the largest migration of people since World War II.
