Slovenia extends checks on borders with Croatia and Hungary

(ANSA) - TRIESTE, MAY 22 - Slovenia has also decided to extend border checks with Croatia and Hungary for six months, following Italy's announcement of the same measure along the Slovenian-Italian border, according to Slovenian news agency STA. Slovenia's Interior Minister, Bostjan Poklukar, announced the decision today, stating that the checks would continue to help fight crime while having as little impact on locals as possible. Furthermore, Poklukar stated that it does not expect any major issues during the summer travel season, just as there were none during the December holidays.
    Border controls will remain in place until December 21.
    Croatia, Hungary, and the European Commission have already been notified of the border check extensions. (ANSA).
