Poland has implemented temporary border controls with Germany and Lithuania until 5 August, responding to public concerns about irregular migration. This decision follows protests from far-right groups alleging that Germany is sending migrants to Poland incorrectly. The controls are enforced by additional police and military personnel at numerous border crossings. German authorities have introduced similar checks earlier in the year due to rising migration challenges. The Polish leadership asserts that these measures aim to safeguard the EU's interests amidst ongoing debates about migration and border security.
Poland has reintroduced temporary border controls with Germany and Lithuania in response to public concerns over irregular migration. The measures will last until 5 August.
The Polish controls are carried out by hundreds of extra police officers and soldiers on 52 border crossings with Germany and 13 with Lithuania.
Under EU regulations, temporary border controls are allowed to address serious threats but can only be for a limited time.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk emphasized that these measures are for the interests of the entire EU and other member states like Germany, the Dutch, and the French.
