Poland on Tuesday said it will impose temporary checks from July 7 on its borders with Germany and Lithuania to stop irregular migrants crossing — a sensitive topic in ties with Berlin.
“We consider the temporary restoration of controls at the Polish-German border necessary to limit and reduce to a minimum the uncontrolled flows… of migrants back and forth,” Prime Minister Donald Tusk told a cabinet meeting, adding that there would be similar checks on the Lithuanian border.
“We are aware that this decision entails certain consequences regarding the freedom of movement of people… There is no other way,” he said.
