Austria & Slovenia Introduce Joint Patrols at Their Shared Border

Posted date: 25 Mar 2023

In a bid to prevent irregular migration between Austria and Slovakia, the border authorities of both countries have agreed to start carrying out joint border patrols.

The move follows previous agreements between the Slovenian police with other neighbouring countries – Italy, Croatia, and Hungary – to carry out joint border patrols at the common borders, also targeting unauthorized migration, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.

“Last week, however, joint mixed patrols, consisting of members of the Slovenian and Austrian police, began operating. Combined patrols, which will initially carry out their work until the end of April, will also be joined by joint intensified controls,” the Slovenian police has announced through a press release published in their official website.
