Authorities in Slovakia have announced that temporary controls at the country’s border with Hungary will be extended until November 3, at least. Given the problem with illegal migration continues …, it is proposed to continuously extend the temporary renewal of internal border controls with Hungary from October 15 to November 3, 2023. The reintroduction of border controls has become a practice often used among the EU countries to halt irregular migration, especially among Slovakia’s neighbouring countries. Recently, the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration, Maciej Wąsik, said that such measures have improved the migration situation. It seems that the introduction of border control itself improved the migration situation.
