In that case, border checks can be introduced at all border crossings one to several times a week from mid-November. This applies both to ferry locations and to train traffic, where travelers will need to show identification.

The measure must be a consequence of the recent explosions and gang violence in Denmark, where Swedes are suspected to have been involved.

In the past, border checks were carried out by Swedish police for travelers on their way from Denmark to Sweden.

The government is also expected to establish a new body of police cooperation against organized cross-border crime in the Öresund region.

According to information provided by DR, the EU Commission and the Swedish Government have been informed of the new temporary border controls.
