WARSAW, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) -- Poland has extended temporary border control measures with Germany and Lithuania for another six months, with the regulation taking effect on Sunday and remaining in force until April 4 next year.

According to Polish media reports, the decree was signed by Polish Minister of the Interior and Administration Marcin Kierwinski on Wednesday.

Poland introduced the temporary border controls on July 7 at its western border with Germany and northeastern border with Lithuania, later extending them to Oct. 4. Checks are currently conducted at 50 points along the Polish-German border and 13 along the Polish-Lithuanian border, according to the Polish Press Agency.

Speaking at a press conference after the Munich Migration Meeting on Saturday, Kierwinski said Poland is unwilling to agree to any regulations on relocating migrants within the European Union. He added that Poland has already paid a heavy price for guarding the bloc's external border, with nearly 25,000 illegal crossings recorded on the border with Belarus so far this year. ■
