Italy Weighs Alternative Measures to Replace Schengen Suspension at Slovenian Border
Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani says extended border checks are not directed against any particular country.
Italy is considering replacing its current suspension of Schengen rules at the border with Slovenia with alternative security measures, according to Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, as reported by Anadolu Agency.
Tajani said the extended checks on travelers are not aimed at any specific country, addressing concerns raised over the border controls that have affected movement between Italy and Slovenia.
The comments come amid broader discussions in Italy over the use of temporary internal border controls within the Schengen area, a system that normally allows for passport-free travel across most European Union member states.
Anadolu Agency did not provide further details on the timeline for any changes or the specific nature of the alternative measures under consideration.
