  • The solution to the migration crisis is tougher controls of the Schengen borders, not the controls on the internal borders between member states.
  • Such a statement is in stark contrast to the Slovak position from 2014-2015, when most politicians strongly rejected the relocation quotas and repeated that the protection of the outer borders is the responsibility of the border countries.
  • At the end of September, Czechia and Austria imposed temporary controls on their borders with Slovakia to prevent irregular migrants from entering the country.
