Slovenia on Saturday deployed police on border crossings with Croatia and Hungary to prevent potential security threats, leading to queues as travelers waited to have their documents checked, APA reports citing Reuters.
The Slovenian government had on Friday decided to introduce temporary border controls until Oct. 30, following its neighbour Italy which introduced controls on its border crossing with Slovenia to improve home security.
Police were deployed on 14 border crossings with Croatia and Hungary, a Slovenian news agency reported. The remaining 18 crossings will not have a permanent police presence.
Travelers queued to have their papers checked at the Obrezje crossing on the border with Croatia, where checks had not taken place since Jan. 1 this year when Croatia joined the control-free Schengen Area.
