The Czech Republic began 10-day temporary checks on its border with Slovakia due to the sharp increase in the number of migrants, mostly Syrian, trying to reach Germany. The driver was neutralized while police opened fire on the vehicle carrying 15 immigrants attempting to flee the checkpoint.
Since the beginning of this year, Czech police have arrested about 12,000 immigrants on the territory of the country. This figure significantly exceeds the figures of 2015, when the migration crisis in Europe was at its peak.
