STOCKHOLM: The government of Finland is considering closure of all checkpoints on the border with Russia but does not see the need for such measure yet, the MTV-3 television channel said, citing sources.
The government is considering closing of the entire border as a temporary measure in case the route of asylum seekers in Finland changes and their number increases. So far there is no need to shut the entire border, the sources told the TV channel.
It was announced on November 16 that Finland would close for checkpoints on the border with Russia at night from Friday to Saturday. The decision will be in effect until February 18 of the next year.
