According to EU Helpers, both nations took these actions as part of their efforts to prevent an inflow of unauthorized immigrants from entering their borders.

On October 4, Austria, Czechia, and Poland jointly implemented border controls with Slovakia; the decision was intended to last until October 13.

According to Polish authorities, these restrictions are having an impact on the decline in efforts to enter the border illegally.

Additionally, Maciej Wsik, Poland's deputy minister of internal affairs and administration, recently stated that Poland's migration situation has improved as a result of border checks implemented with Slovakia.

He stated that there is quiet on the shared border between Poland and Slovakia and that border checks are in place.

Wsik emphasized that these people are waiting for the circumstances to change or perhaps they are looking for new means. He highlighted that irregular border crossing efforts are not a local problem but a European one.

Ludovit Odor, the prime minister of Slovakia, opposed the decision to reimpose such precautionary measures because he believed that a European-wide solution should be found to the immigration problem.

Government statistics from Slovakia indicate that there were 40,000 migrants entering the nation this year, an increase of more than a factor of eleven.

Recently, Slovakia has seen an increase in the number of migrants traveling to wealthier Western European countries, mostly from Serbia via Hungary.

Between October 4 and October 9, according to the Czech Interior Minister Vit Rakusan, police checked a total of 43,749 people and 283 illegal immigrants entering the nation from Slovakia. He also noted that authorities had caught and charged 12 people smugglers.

In Slovakia, authorities have found approximately 24,500 illegal immigrants between January and August of this year, compared to 10,900 found throughout the entire previous year.

To stop the flow of migrants, Slovakian officials began conducting border checks on October 5 at the shared border with Hungary. The ruling will remain in place until October 14.

Additionally, the Slovak government announced that it will extend restrictions until November 3.
