Poland to Impose Border Controls with Germany, Lithuania
Poland is going to start checking its borders with Germany and Lithuania.
This means they will temporarily stop people at the border to make sure they are allowed to enter the country.
The Prime Minister says this is to reduce the number of people entering illegally.
Germany has already done the same thing.
Poland and Germany are working together to solve the issue.
Some people think this is a good idea to control who enters the country, while others worry about the effects on travel.
The situation is also a response to increased debate over migration within Poland.
Poland will implement temporary border controls with Germany and Lithuania.
The controls will begin on July 7, according to Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
The aim is to reduce uncontrolled migrant flows.
Germany has also extended its own temporary border controls.
Debate over migration in Poland has become increasingly heated in recent weeks.
