Closer Czech-Austrian police cooperation hopes to clamp down on criminals

The Czech cabinet also discussed a bilateral agreement with Austria on Thursday that would increase police cooperation. With the agreement, which is to be signed in mid-July, the interior ministries of both countries hope to join forces and combat crime more effectively. The document makes it easier to search for suspects across the borders and introduces joint border controls, in order to reduce the high number of illegal migrants believed to cross the borders every year.
