Poland to impose border checks in July

Interior Minister Mariusz Błaszczak told public broadcaster Polskie Radio that Poland will restore border controls in July, a move which is linked to the NATO Summit and The Roman Catholic Church’s World Youth Days. Błaszczak said that similar measures were taken when Poland hosted the Euro 2012 football championships. The NATO summit is scheduled for July 8-9 and Youth Days will take place between July 25 and 31. The latter event will be attended by Pope Francis.
