ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF BORDER-RELATED MEASURE S TAKEN BY MS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19
CASE STUDIES

Hungary – Slovenia border
region
Border controls and cross-
border mobility
(Reduced crossings points, type
of controls, congestion, CB pub-
lic transport…)
The border between Hungary and Slovenia was closed at midnight
on the 12th of March. First it was reopened on the 2nd of April, but
with restrictions, and was closed again on the 16thof April. The
control of body temperature was not common, border authorities
rather controlled the papers certifying the reason for traveling (for
example land use, employment or individual permissions granted
such as caring for an elderly relative). As there is almost no public
transport at the Hungarian-Slovenian border, that was not an is-
sue.
CB coordination and dialogue
during the crisis and the de-
containment phase
(Evolution in border controls and
effects of the lifting of border
controls)
The decisions were made jointly on local and national level, but
local decisions represent a smaller proportion (about 10%), local
stakeholders could mostly express their opinions in connection
with the opening of smaller border crossing points. The involved
stakeholders were mostly the municipalities from both sides of
the border. It was a very quick and good communication between
the two sides.
Also, solidarity was present on governmental level as the Hungar-
ian government sent equipment to the hospital of Murska Sobota
(SI).
Impact on cross-border
workers
(Remote working and taxation,
social security, unemploy-
ment…)
The movement of cross-border workers was problematic only at
the very beginning. After a couple of days, they were finally al-
lowed to cross the border. Unemployment resulting from the bor-
der closure was not reported. Remote working was introduced in
many cases, albeit this solution was not possible everywhere (due
to the type of work or the lack of proper infrastructure).
Impact on the users of cross-
border public services (CPS)
The level and number of real cross-border public services are rel-
atively low in this border section and thus the impact was not
measurable.
