Security tightening in Germany
In turn, German Interior Minister Nancy Weiser announced additional security measures that will be taken during Germany’s organization of the European Championship “Euro 2024”, which will begin on Friday, June 14, and will continue until Sunday, July 14, 2024.
The German Minister explained that during the next Euro, additional security measures will be implemented at all German border crossings in order to secure the country and prevent the entry of potential perpetrators of violence.
Germany took similar measures when it hosted the World Cup finals in 2006, when it temporarily suspended a European agreement to abolish border controls between European countries.
Germany is already imposing temporary controls on its borders with Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland, as part of efforts to combat migrant smuggling gangs.
