BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary could hold a referendum on European Union-mandated migrant resettlement quotas in 150 days at the earliest as the government's referendum question makes its way through the legal system, the justice minister said on Friday.

"The earliest possible time is 150 days, while the latest is 250 days," Laszlo Trocsanyi told a news conference.
