Austria is to intensify monitoring at
the Brenner Pass on the border with Italy in response to the
uptick in the arrival of migrants and refugees to Lampedusa, the
Austrian press agency APA said Friday, citing interior ministry
sources.
Vienna was said to be "in contact with the Italian authorities"
on the matter.
On Friday morning the situation at the Austrian-Italian Alpine
border crossing was reported to be calm and there was no sign of
a change in the management of controls on the Austrian side.
