We remind you! The launch of the Entry-Exit System (EES) on October 12 was the most significant change at the EU borders in recent years. The new rules are designed to improve security and migration control, but the first few days turned into chaos — especially for Ukrainians crossing the border with Poland. Queues, glitches, and unprepared infrastructure showed that the system needs refinement. Read how the EES works now and what travelers can expect.
