Polish checks result in 7-kilometre tailback at border with Germany

Jul 11, 2025

Berlin [Germany], July 11: Polish border checks were causing a tailback on the German side of the border stretching for 7 kilometres near the city of Frankfurt an der Oder, German police reported on Thursday. They did not expect the situation to be resolved soon. Since Monday, Poland's Border Guard has been conducting checks at 52 crossings with Germany and 13 with Lithuania. The centre-left government in Warsaw ordered the checks in tit-for-tat response to German border checks. Germany has been conducting spot checks at the border with Poland since October 2023 to stop irregular migration. German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt ordered more intensive border checks shortly after the new conservative-led government took office in May. (DPA)
