Poland has reinstated restrictions on movement along parts of its border with Belarus in response to heightened migration pressure and incidents of violence against Polish security officials. The ban, effective for 90 days, covers a 60-kilometer stretch of the land border between the two countries, which share a border of approximately 400 kilometers.
The government's decision aims to safeguard the safety of individuals in the area, including border guards, soldiers, and police, as well as to curb the activities of human smugglers facilitating irregular migration. While residents, workers, and students in the region will have access to the border areas, others will require permits to enter.
