Poland is extending its temporary border controls with Germany and Lithuania until October 4 due to concerns over irregular migration.

The decision to maintain these controls challenges the EU's principle of free movement, although Schengen countries can impose them in emergency situations. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
