Germany is intensifying border checks for six months, marking an expansion from prior checks only at eastern and southern borders. This could disrupt travel.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has warned that Germany's border control measures threaten the integrity of the Schengen system, urging a reconsideration of such extensive measures.
Interior Minister Nancy Faeser stated that the implementation of these border checks is necessary due to an overloaded asylum system and rising irregular migration.
Border controls in the Schengen Area are intended to be a 'last resort,' according to EU officials, yet they acknowledge that member states have the discretion to impose them.
