Austria is stricter border control

- Austria is stricter control by 1 June at the Brenner Pass, the border with Italy. That Defense Minister Hans Peter Doskozil said Tuesday. The measure is mean to tackle the refugee crisis in Europe.

The Government expects in Vienna, now the Balkan route is largely blocked, that the influx of migrants from Italy will nearly double this year. That would mean that 300 000 people will try to enter Austria. When asked whether a fence will be placed on the Brenner said Doskozil:,, It is to ensure particularly important that there is proper border control, similar to those in Spielfeld. ' That is the country's separation from Slovenia.

The date for the introduction of stricter controls depends on the actual number of refugees and the progress of the construction of the new customs center.
