In the years from 1993 to 2007 Slovakia also maintained border controls at the border crossings to the neighboring states of Austria , Poland , the Czech Republic and Hungary .

Overview

As the successor state to Czechoslovakia , Slovakia took over the border crossings to Austria, Poland, Hungary and the Ukraine on January 1, 1993. The border crossings to the Czech Republic were newly built. With the accession to the EU and the related integration of Slovakia into the European internal market or into the customs union , no customs controls have been carried out at the EU border crossings since joining the EU. Due to the transfer of the Schengen Agreement into the legal framework of the EU in 1999 by a protocol to the Treaty of Amsterdam , the accession of Slovakia to the EU also meant the adoption of the Schengen acquis . The legal regulations were subject to a transitional period until December 21, 2007, the expiry of which meant the elimination of border controls at the national borders with other EU member states. At airports, border controls for flights within the Schengen area were abolished on March 30, 2008.

Slovakia has the following border lengths with neighboring countries:

  • Czech Republic - 265 km
  • Poland - 597 km
  • Ukraine - 98 km
  • Hungary - 679 km
  • Austria - 127 km
