Unlimited regime on Czech-Slovak border resumed

The unlimited border regime between Slovakia and the Czech Republic resumed as of Wednesday midnight. The Slovak and Czech Prime Ministers, Igor Matovič and Andrej Babiš (respectively), confirmed this during Matovič's first official visit to Prague on Wednesday. According to the Slovak prime minister, the agreement on this step was made already two days ago, adding that the turning point was the opinion of a council of experts. "Both countries are like Siamese twins, bound by a common history, personal and family relationships. We've therefore taken the many separations and restrictions at the border very sensitively. That is why I'm glad that we're introducing an unrestricted regime [at the border]," said Matovič in Prague. The premiers pointed out that the Slovak side will continue to check third-country nationals.
