Italy is suspending Schengen free-movement cooperation with Spain, according to a statement from the country’s interior ministry. The decision is tied to the ongoing migrant crisis in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.
Officials have not yet said how the suspension will work in practice or how long it will remain in force. It is therefore still unclear what the move will mean for travel and border crossings between the two countries.
HBL reported the news on Thursday. The development highlights how pressure in Ceuta can quickly become a wider political issue within Europe.
