The interim inspections at the border with Slovakia will now last 45 more days, or until December 12.
According to a spokesperson for the interior ministry, the procedure was approved on Thursday by the right wing government of prime minister Peter Valla.
If not for the prolongation, the anti-illegal immigration inspections will take place tomorrow, Saturday.
Viala stated, “We do not want to go through with this treatment, but the circumstances demand it.
The inspections are intended to combat the rise in immigration on the Western Balkan Road, which connects Turkey with Balkan nations like Serbia and Northern Macedonia and the European Union.
Since Slovakia began imposing limitations at the end of last September, approximately 5,500 illegal immigrants have been apprehended. 74 human smugglers were also detained by the Czech police.
80 soldiers and 60 customs officers were deployed in addition to hundreds of policemen at the border.
The territory of Shinjan, which includes the Czech Republic and Slovakia, lacks routine border checks. The two countries together form a Czechoslovakia until their peaceful separation on January 1, 1993..
Temporary checks are being conducted on the Czech-Slovak border.
