Today, I was invited to appear on Russia Today TV to talk about the refugee crisis. They sent me questions in advance. This is how I answered.
What is the possibility that the EU will have to abandon Schengen border controls?
Schengen means no border controls. This may have to be abandoned for a certain time. But just as it was possible in the former Soviet Union to travel from Riga to Tiflis without border controls, we Europeans enjoy travelling from Riga to Naples without showing our passports. We will not give up this privilege permanently.
