Poland introduces temporary EU border checks
Poland reintroduced border checks with EU countries from today until August 2, due to a NATO summit in Warsaw and the World Youth Day.
At midnight today, Poland temporarily restored border checks with its EU neighbours – the Czech Republic, Germany, Lithuania, Slovakia, as well as at ports and airports. The decision was made due to the NATO summit in Warsaw (8-9 July) and World Youth Days, to be held in Kraków, southern Poland, on 25-31 July.
Checks are carried out randomly, i.e. on selected individuals, based on risk analysis and information provided by the services of other countries.
Poles leaving for holidays abroad or hikers in the mountains on the Polish border should remember to take identification: an ID card or passport.
Poland also temporarily suspend local border traffic with Russia’s Kaliningrad enclave and Ukraine. (mol)
