The Netherlands introduced a selective check of passports at the border

Due to the influx of refugees, the Netherlands introduce a selective check of passports on the borders with Germany and Belgium, Reuters reports with reference to the Ministry of Justice.

According to De Telegraaf, the police will stop the buses that will seem suspicious to them, as well as check the documents of some passengers on trains.

“We are not going to stop each person on the border. This just means that selective checks will be carried out in the border areas and that a larger number of people will be asked to show documents, ” said the representative of the Ministry of Justice.

Last week, about three thousand people arrived in the Netherlands who hope to get refugee status. It is expected that by the end of this month the Dutch centers of reception of migrants will be crowded. According to the quota system established by the European Commission, the Netherlands must accept nine thousand refugees.

On September 13, due to the influx of refugees, Germany introduced control on the border with Austria, and Austria the next day sent to the places of accumulation of refugees of military personnel. The authorities of Slovakia announced the strengthening of control on the border. In Poland, it was also reported that they were also ready to go to such measures if they cease to cope with the flow of migrants.

The readiness to accept the largest number of refugees was expressed by the German authorities. Berlin said that by the end of the year 800 thousand applications for the provision of asylum were expected, emphasizing that not all of them would be satisfied.
