(Reuters) -Hungary must pay a 200-million-euro ($216 million) fine for not implementing changes to its policy of handling migrants and asylum seekers at its border, the European Union's top court said on Thursday.

"The decision is outrageous and unacceptable," Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in a Facebook post.
