BRUSSELS, May 22 (Reuters) – Austria’s Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg on Monday said his ministry would summon the Hungarian ambassador over a dispute linked to the release of people he called human traffickers by Hungarian authorities.

“We think this is an entirely wrong signal”, Schallenberg told journalists ahead of a EU meeting in Brussels, adding that he demands “full clarification” over the issue from Hungary.
