Another six months
Border controls with Hungary and Slovenia extended
In the fight against illegal migration, Austria on Tuesday extended border controls with the Schengen countries Hungary and Slovenia for a further six months up to and including May 11 of next year.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen "Border controls are and will remain a decisive factor in the fight against illegal migration," explained ÖVP Interior Minister Gerhard Karner.
The measures had "massively reduced the number of apprehensions" and the "smuggling mafia" was now avoiding Austria.
It was only on October 22 that Austria extended its extraordinary controls at the Schengen border with the Czech Republic and Slovakia until April 15, 2025 due to concerns about illegal migration.
- In addition to Austria, internal border controls are also being carried out in Germany, Denmark, France, Italy, Norway, Sweden and Slovenia.
- From December 9, the Netherlands will also control its national borders with Belgium and Germany.
Border controls are not actually planned within the Schengen area and must be reported to the EU Commission.
