Slovenia Extends Controls on the Hungarian Border

MTI-Hungary Today 2024.11.22.

At Thursday’s cabinet meeting, the Slovenian government extended border controls on the Croatian and Hungarian borders for another six months.

“This is a temporary measure introduced due to the increased threat of terrorism to ensure a high level of security for all citizens,” the Slovenian Government Communication Office (UKOM) said.

They added that the police will continue to carry out border controls in a way that does not have a negative impact on travelers, the economy, and the border population.

Slovenia reintroduced temporary border controls on October 21 last year, after Italy announced a similar measure on its own border with Slovenia. The measure has been extended several times since then.

The Ljubljana government has said it will inform the other EU Member States, the European Commission, and the European Parliament of the extension of border controls in accordance with Article 27 of the Schengen Borders Code.

Fact

As Hungary Today reported back in October last year, Slovenia has set up 14 checkpoints on the Croatian and Hungarian borders- 12 on the Croatian side, and two on the Hungarian side. EU citizens can use all border crossing points, while third-country nationals can only cross the border at these 14 points.
