WARSAW, March 28 (Reuters) – Poland will extend controls ​along its ‌borders with fellow European Union members Germany and ‌Lithuania ​by ⁠six months ⁠until October 1, its interior ministry said on ​Saturday.

    Poland introduced temporary controls ⁠in ⁠July, echoing several ​other EU governments ​in reimposing frontier ‌checks to stem illegal migration.

    “This decision is ⁠due to the need to counteract ⁠illegal ‌migration and ⁠ensure internal ​security,” ‌the ministry said ​in ⁠a post on X.
