Poland and Germany have agreed to temporarily reinstate border controls at their shared borders with Germany and Lithuania as part of a coordinated effort to address security and migration concerns. The decision follows discussions between German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who emphasized the need for cooperation on border security.
Both leaders acknowledged the growing challenges posed by migration and border security, particularly in light of recent developments in the European Union. The agreement to reinstate border controls is seen as a measure to ensure better control over the movement of people across these borders and to prevent unauthorized crossings.
The move comes amid increasing tensions within the EU over migration policies and border management. While the exact duration of the border controls has not been specified, both countries have expressed a commitment to working together to find long-term solutions to these pressing issues.
