Supreme court examines

Why border controls are shaky because of 50 euros

The Constitutional Court is currently dealing with a particularly explosive issue that has serious implications for security and freedom of travel - because the complaint of a Carinthian could mean that border controls between Austria and Slovenia may not be extended. How did this come about?

It started with 50 euros. That's how much a Carinthian was fined after driving into Carinthia from Slovenia via the Grablach border crossing without stopping in December 2021. In doing so, he had disregarded the border control law.
