Austria Extends Border Controls With Hungary and Slovenia Until May 2025
Austria Extends Border Controls With Hungary and Slovenia to Combat Irregular Migration
Austria has announced the extension of its internal border controls with Hungary and Slovenia for another six months, until May 2025, as part of ongoing efforts to address irregular migration and human trafficking.
Continued Need for Border Controls
-
Significant Impact:
- The Ministry of Interior reported a notable drop in arrests in Burgenland, attributed to previous border controls.
- However, authorities stress that maintaining these controls is essential to prevent human trafficking and irregular entries.
-
Minister's Statement:
- Gerhard Karner, Austria's Minister of Interior, emphasized that border controls are a decisive measure in combating irregular migration both for Austria and the Schengen Zone.
Longstanding Border Measures
- Austria initially introduced border controls with Hungary and Slovenia in 2015 during the height of the migration crisis.
- Since then, the measure has been renewed periodically, with the most recent extension implemented in May 2024 for six months.
Border Controls Across the Schengen Area
Austria is not alone in maintaining border checks. Several Schengen countries have implemented similar measures to address migration and security concerns:
-
Germany:
- Reintroduced internal border controls at all land borders on September 16, 2024.
- Aims to combat irregular migration with systematic checks on those entering from neighbouring countries.
-
France:
- Reinstated border controls on November 1, 2024, citing irregular migration and heightened terrorist threats.
-
Netherlands:
- Announced plans to introduce border controls starting December 9, 2024, for six months to tackle migrant smuggling.
-
Other Countries:
- Denmark, Italy, Norway, Sweden, and Slovenia also maintain internal border controls for various security and migration-related reasons.
Austria’s extension reflects a growing trend among Schengen member states to prioritize national security and manage migration effectively. While these measures face criticism for impacting free movement within the bloc, they are deemed necessary by governments to address ongoing challenges.
