Slovenia lifts temporary border checks with Croatia and Hungary

Slovenia is ending temporary border controls with Croatia and Hungary, which were introduced in October 2023 due to security concerns in the Middle East and Italy's similar measures, as reported by STA.

Slovenia has announced the cessation of temporary border controls with Croatia and Hungary, which were initially implemented in October 2023 for a period of six months. The Slovenian Ministry of Interior had introduced these measures in response to the evolving security situation in the Middle East following the Hamas attack on Israel, and after Italy had also reinstated its own border controls. The decision to lift these temporary measures, which aimed to enhance security, was reported by the STA news agency. Sources: Українська правда (reporting STA).
