Poland will maintain border controls with Germany and Lithuania until 2026, aiming to manage illegal migration, as announced by the Interior Ministry.
WARSAW (Reuters) -Poland says it will extend controls on borders with Germany and Lithuania until April 4, 2026, the Interior Ministry told Reuters on Wednesday.
Poland introduced temporary controls along borders with Germany and Lithuania in July, echoing several other European Union countries in reimposing frontier checks to stem illegal migration.

Border controls are measures implemented by a country to regulate the movement of people and goods across its borders. They can include checks on passports, visas, and customs declarations.
Illegal migration refers to the movement of people into a country in violation of its immigration laws. This can include crossing borders without authorization or overstaying a visa.
