Government extends internal border controls for six months

The government has decided to extend border controls at internal borders for another six months.

Border controls at internal borders were reintroduced to identify people entering the country who may pose a threat to public order and internal security.

The government believes that the security situation is still serious, including in relation to cross-border crime. The Police Authority, in turn, decides where and how the checks will be carried out.

The decision came into effect on May 12.
