Denmark is extending border controls with Sweden until May 2022.

The country's government notified the EU of the decision at the end of last week, according to a letter signed by Minister of Justice Nick Hækkerup.

The government cites the threat from militant Islamists and organized crime as a reason for the extension.

The border controls were introduced in the fall of 2019 as part of a security package focused on organized crime. Not all travelers are checked.
