MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Norway is extending the previously introduced internal border control until November 11, Minister of Justice and Public Security Emilie Enger Mehl said on Tuesday.
Earlier in October, the Norwegian Police Security Service said that the authorities had decided to implement internal border control due to increased security threats.
«I have decided to extend border control until November 11, 2024,» Mehl said, as quoted by the Justice Ministry in a statement.
The ministry also indicated that further extensions of border control are not ruled out in the future. The reason for the current extension is the high terrorist threat level due to recent security incidents in Copenhagen and Stockholm. The measures are intended to prevent «terrorism» targeting Jews and Israelis, as well as their organizations in Norway.
