Resuming permanent border controls with Czechia and Poland should be prevented, because it would largely impact local inhabitants, German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said on Tuesday.
She said that together with her Polish and Czech counterparts, she has taken a number of measures to strengthen random checks and so-called "hidden searches" in the border area due to migration.
The conservative opposition, as well as the governments of Saxony and Brandenburg, are calling for permanent checks, following the example of the German-Austrian border, which have been in place since 2015.

The Soviet Union's decision to send tanks to Hungary and Czechoslovakia to crush mass protests during the Cold War was a mistake, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday, while attending an economic forum in Vladivostok.
When asked about perceptions of Russia as a colonial power due to Moscow's decision to send tanks to Budapest in 1956 and to Prague in 1968, the Russian head of state replied “it was a mistake”, adding that it was not right to do anything in foreign policy that harms the interests of other nations.
The Kremlin chief, whose decision to send tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in 2022 unleashed the biggest war in Europe since WWII, also said that Russia had provided aid to other countries but had never been a coloniser.
