Another kick into Schengen: border control prolonged at this Hungarian border

The Slovenian government decided on their Thursday session to prolong their strict border control on the Croatian and Hungarian border.

According to the Hungarian News Agency (MTI), the Slovenian government prolonged strict border control on the Hungarian-Slovenian border until 21 December. The reason is crime, terrorism and extremities sadly spanning through borders.

They added that the Slovenian police would do everything they could to protect the companies, citizens, locals, tourists and the environment from the negative effects of the inspection.

Slovenia re-established border control on 21 October temporarily and prolonged it multiple times.

Slovenia’s interior minister, Boštjan Poklukar, said the 21 December date is the latest the Schengen codex allows them to re-establish border control despite being a Schengen Zone member. Afterwards, they will continue to do so based on the 25th and 27th paragraphs of the codex. That can last for another six months.
