00:00Organizers of Sziget, Hungary's largest music festival, have put the event on high alert
00:07following foiled terrorist attacks at Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna.
00:11First of all, the outer buffer zone of the K7 is surrounded by terrorist weapons,
00:18so we can basically prevent attacks.
00:24The seven-day music festival, located on an island, is attended by 95,000 people daily.
00:31The event is particularly vulnerable to an attack due to its accessibility by boat from Budapest.
00:37Organizers decided to raise the security alert as a precaution following recent events.
00:43Providing an event similar to an island is a huge task.
00:47The number of security personnel is more than 1,000,
00:50and tens of thousands of civil dressers are also on hand to ensure that there are no problems.
