Slovenia's government has extended
the internal Schengen border checks with Croatia and Hungary,
which were in place until December 21, by another six months,
according to Slovenian news agency STA today.
The Government Communication Office (UKOM) stated that this
is a temporary measure put in place to ensure a high level of
security for all citizens in light of the increased threat of
terrorism. Slovenia implemented border controls with Croatia and
Hungary on October 21, last year, in response to the Middle
East's deteriorating security situation and the increased threat
of terrorism. Italy imposed border controls with Slovenia for
the same reasons and has since expanded them, as has Slovenia,
STA recalled.
