Spot checks introduced on Czech-German border over migrant fears

Concerns linked to migrants who fail to win asylum in Germany has led to the introduction of spot checks on the Czech-German border, the news website iDnes.cz reported. Speaking at the Svatý Kříž border crossing, the Czech minister of the interior, Milan Chovanec, said it was likely that asylum seekers rejected in Germany would head for another European Union member state and try again there. Similar spot checks have already been in place on the Czech Republic’s borders with Slovakia and Austria for some time.
