Army and police to take part in one-day training exercise to secure country’s borders

Several hundred members of the Czech military and police forces will take part in a one-day training exercise at the end of September to secure the borders of the Czech Republic. The mock scenario will test command and personnel readiness in the event of a marked worsening of conditions and a jump in the number of illegal migrants heading for the country. So far, the Czech Republic has served largely as a transit country for migrants heading to neighboring Germany and other parts of Central or Western Europe.
