Suspending Schengen necessary says Meloni

(see related) (ANSA) - ROME, OCT 18 - Premier Giorgia Meloni said Wednesday that the international situation made it necessary for Italy to suspended the Schengen Treaty after her government decided to reintroduce controls at Italy's border with Slovenia from Saturday October 21.
    "The suspension of the Schengen Treaty on free movement in Europe has become necessary due to the worsening situation in the Middle East, the increase in migratory flows along the Balkan route and, above all, due to national security issues," Meloni said on social media.
    "I take full responsibility for this." (ANSA).
