A joke the other week, from some Romanians.

Q: "What's the difference between Hungary and us?"

A: "We built refugee camps, but no-one came."

. . .

Overall, it was a self-deprecating joke about their country, but one of the Romanians I was with explained to me that Romania actually built a refugee camp or two in expectation of a stream of Syrian refugees, but all that traffic that was headed up to Germany actually shifted onto a different route and ended up in Hungary instead, so their refugee camps ended up empty.
