Due to the serious threat of illegal immigration, on 4 October 2023 border controls were reinstated on the Polish-Slovak section of the national border. Initially, the controls were in force until 13 October 2023, but there have already been two extensions and the current is in place until 22 November 2023. On Friday 17 November 2023, the website of the Government Legislation Centre published a draft regulation of the Minister of Interior and Administration. Under it, the third extension of Polish-Slovak border controls is to apply from 23 November 2023 to 3 December 2023.
