Poland has re-established border controls with Germany and Lithuania to curb illegal migration, following similar actions by Germany. The Polish government, responding to concerns about asylum-seekers and alleged migrant transport, initiated the 30-day controls on Monday. These measures involve checks at numerous crossing points along the borders with Germany and Lithuania. This move, which may be extended, comes amid broader European efforts to manage migration and protect borders within the Schengen Area, a zone of free movement.
