The report stated that the National Police, following the advice of the Police Intelligence Service, found it necessary to intensify efforts at the Danish internal borders on a temporary basis until August 10.

Authorities have concluded that it is now necessary to increase the focus on those who arrive in Denmark to counter the specific and continuing threats being faced by the country, the report added.

According to Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard, the increased border controls highlight the seriousness of the situation.

The government takes the current situation very seriously, and I note that authorities have come to the conclusion that it is necessary to intensify police efforts at the Danish borders for security reasons for a limited period, the Danish politician pointed out.
