Slovenia-Politics-Slovenia Extends Border Controls with Croatia and Hungary
Slovenia has extended temporary internal border controls with Croatia and Hungary until June 21, 2026. The Ljubljana government announced the directive late Thursday, citing escalating regional instability, an elevated threat landscape dominated by cross-border crime syndicates, and active terrorism networks. Systematic passport checks immediately resume at all major crossing points, disrupting transit across central and southern Europe. Daily commuters, commercial freight operators, and international travelers now face mandatory verification procedures that abruptly halt the region’s established open-border routine.
