Germany will extend its temporary internal border controls with all its neighbouring countries for a further six months once the current measure expires on March 15.
This was announced by the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, who confirmed that the border controls would remain in place until September 15, according to Schengen.News.
Germany reinstated border checks at all its borders with the neighbouring Schengen countries in September 2024 in an effort to fight irregular migration and cross-border crime, as reported by Travel News.
German Minister of Interior, Nancy Faeser, said the checks had proved to be effective and were still necessary.
