US EditionPoland extends border controls with Germany and Lithuania until October
POLAND, AUG 3 – Poland extends controls due to irregular migration risks and security threats, maintaining 10 ad hoc crossing sites for local residents, Interior Minister KierwiDski said.
- Poland will maintain its current border checks with Germany and Lithuania through October 4, Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński announced on Sunday.
- The extension responds to ongoing concerns over irregular migration shifting routes through Lithuania and Latvia after tighter controls near Belarus and Russia.
- Border checks are conducted at 52 sites in Germany and 13 in Lithuania, including three official crossings and ten ad hoc local-control points.
- Kierwiński said the barrier's 98% tightness forces migration to shift while 185 foreigners lacking valid documents were denied entry in four weeks.
- Poland will review data from border guards, police, and military in September to decide on further extensions amid EU partner cooperation efforts.
