It is supposed to work out different scenarios on sea, ground and air borders,” said the director of Frontex Fabrice Ledgery in an interview with the German weekly Welt Am Sonntag .

According to Ledgery, specific scenarios are currently coordinated. According to DW , the checks will be held, in particular, in Germany and Greece. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Germany confirmed information on the preparation of stress tests for borders.
