Poland will lift new checks on its border with Germany if Germany ends its tougher controls, according to Polish Interior Minister Tomasz Siemoniak, indicating that mutual cooperation is essential for free movement within the EU.
Siemoniak emphasized that Poland is enthusiastic about free movement within the EU but calls for stronger external border security, especially addressing the challenges of illegal migration with neighboring states.
The Polish border with Belarus is now 'watertight,' as stated by Siemoniak, who maintains that border checks with Lithuania will persist until the reasons for their imposition are resolved.
In response to the shifting defense landscape, Defence Minister Boris Pistorius is advancing a bill that would permit the reactivation of compulsory military service if deemed necessary by the current defense situation.
