Migrants: Germany extends border controls for 3 months
Almost 1.1 million people entered last year
11 February, 14:43The Interior Ministry said Thursday that the controls, first introduced Sept. 13, can't be lifted because a reduction in the flow of refugees "is currently not foreseeable." Almost 1.1 million people entered Germany last year to apply for asylum.
Most came through the country's southern border with Austria.
Germany previously last announced it was extending border controls on Nov. 13. (ANSA-AP).
