Swedish media sources said that the government will impose a border control on the southern borders of Sweden starting on Thursday, and will continue for an initial period of 10 days and can be extended. Control will be imposed mainly on the Oresund Bridge, which connects Sweden with Denmark, and the ports of ships in Scona.
This comes after the announcement of Sweden that it is no longer able to provide guarantees to receive more refugees, according to Immigration Minister Morgan Johansson.
The minister pointed out in a press conference that "the most demanding problem lies in the very rapid rise in the number of asylum seekers arriving in Sweden, stressing that the country is no longer able to open a sufficient number of reception centers.
Two days ago, the number of asylum seekers has reached 2160 refugees in only one day, while during 7 days; their number has reached 10,822 people. Thousands of Palestinian refugees fled from Syria and rode the sea or on foot, bringing them up to the European countries of asylum and especially Sweden.
