Poland Extends Checks on Borders With Germany, Lithuania

WARSAW, March ⁠28 (Reuters) – ⁠Poland will ⁠extend controls along ​its borders ‌with fellow European ‌Union ⁠members ⁠Germany and Lithuania by six months ​until October 1, its ​interior ministry said on ⁠Saturday.

Poland ⁠introduced temporary ⁠controls in ​July, echoing several other ​EU ⁠governments in reimposing frontier checks ⁠to stem illegal migration.

“This decision is ⁠due to the need to counteract illegal migration and ensure internal security,” the ministry ⁠said in a post on X.
