At its meeting on July 31, the government will set up a national mechanism for reintroducing internal border controls in line with EU rules.

The draft decision will amend Government Decision No. 1152/2014, setting out the conditions under which internal border controls may be temporarily reintroduced, based on an assessment of necessity by the competent authorities. The controls will only be applied in situations of serious threat to public order or internal security, and the Ministry of Interior will inform civil society about these measures. Other draft decisions will also be discussed at the meeting.
