Germany extends internal border checks until September 2026 over security and migration concerns.
Germany will extend temporary border checks at its internal borders for another six months, until at least September 2026, citing ongoing security concerns and migration pressures.
The move, announced by Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, follows previous extensions and is part of a broader effort to manage migration amid a lack of a unified EU migration policy.
The checks, allowed under Schengen rules for serious public order threats, have been in place since 2024 and involve random screenings.
Germany has notified the European Commission, which must assess the measures' necessity and proportionality.
The government maintains the checks are temporary and essential for national security, though they have drawn criticism from neighboring countries and human rights groups.
