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."
