Refugees are applying to stay in Hungary
The latest statistics also suggest that those arriving in Hungary and Serbia and Kosovo are applying for asylum in their thousands, despite some reports to the contrary.
143,009 refugees logged applications to stay in Hungary, the second highest number so far this year, despite extensive reporting of the country's efforts to move arrivals on to other countries.
An apparent desire amongst those arriving in Hungary to travel further into Europe to reach more prosperous nations has been reported.
But the statistics behind the graph suggest that many of those arriving in Hungary are choosing to apply for asylum in the country in their thousands. Though it does not show whether these applicants then travel onwards to other countries.
The third-highest number of applications was received by Serbia and Kosovo, which border Hungary, at 103,946.
While the EU requires those requesting asylum to do so in the country they first arrive in, reports have suggested refugees have chosen to continue their journeys to more developed member states after doing so.
