East-West border incident not apt to curdle relations
Don't look for any international repercussions following a recent incursion across the Hungary-Austria border. The invaders were cows. A 160-strong herd of Hungarian cattle wandered into Austria to graze before local residents drove them back across the East-West border, police said Monday. Some cows had evidently leaned against a rotten wooden fence, causing it to give way.
The border between Austria and Hungary is marked only by wire fencing along much of its 150-mile length.
