Poland restores border checks for Germany and Lithuania | AFP

Poland has temporarily reintroduced border controls with Germany and Lithuania, saying they are needed to control "illegal immigration". All vehicles entering Sublice, in western Poland, were being checked on Monday by border guards. The immigration issue was central to June's presidential election where nationalist Karol Nawrocki – who ran on a slogan of "Poland first, Poles first" – narrowly defeated the candidate backed by Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
