ItalyThe Italian government may extend the suspension of the Schengen Agreement for at least another month to continue selective checks on non-EU citizens entering Italy from Spain via air and sea borders. This potential extension comes amid concerns over worsening migration crisis conditions in Ceuta and possible terrorism risks. The measure was initially justified by fears of secondary movements linked to the Ceuta crisis, but no cases of individuals entering Ceuta during the July crisis and later intercepted in Italy have been reported. The Italian interior minister confirmed this after two weeks of controls, noting few irregular migrants and none from Ceuta. The situation has intensified tensions between Rome and Madrid, with Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Maria Albares accusing Italy of lacking solidarity and acting politically to gain advantage from the crisis. Spain plans to maintain its measures until September 6, though it could also extend them.
