Poland reintroduces exclusion zone on Belarus border

Poland reintroduces an exclusion zone on parts of its border with Belarus, starting from Tuesday 4 June and lasting for 90 days. Unauthorised people will banned from entering designated areas of 200 meters (660 feet), up to 2km (6600 feet) wide along the border. The decision marks a return to measures introduced by the former Law and Justice (PiS) government in 2021, at the onset of the migration crisis, and lifted the following year, after the completion of a new border wall. The measures will cover 27 precincts in the counties of Hajnówka and Białystok. Unauthorised people will not be allowed to enter those areas.
