Poland starts the construction of a temporary fence along its 210-kilometre long land border with the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad. Polish Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak announced the decision amid concerns in Warsaw that Russia plans to orchestrate an influx of migrants. "The airport in Kaliningrad is now accepting flights from the Middle East and North Africa. I decided to take action to enhance the security of the Polish border," Blaszczak told reporters. IMAGES

Slovenia starts to remove the wire fence on its border with Croatia. The EU country's Prime Minister Robert Golob said the initiative had failed to serve its purpose. During Europe's 2015-2016 migrant crisis, during which over half a million migrants crossed Slovenia heading for Italy or Austria, Slovenia erected some 200 kilometres (124 miles) of wire and panel fence covering almost a third of its border with Croatia.
