WARSAW – Polish officials announced Saturday they will continue monitoring their borders with neighboring European Union nations Germany and Lithuania for an additional six-month period, extending the measures through October 1.
The border monitoring began in July as part of a broader trend among EU countries reinstating checkpoint procedures to address unauthorized border crossings.
“This decision is due to the need to counteract illegal migration and ensure internal security,” the ministry said in a post on X.
The move reflects ongoing concerns about migration management across European borders, with Poland joining other EU member states in implementing temporary frontier oversight measures.
