More and more Czech citizens complain, the police checks by the Czech-German border, which should be random, aren’t random at all. When the Czech Republic entered the Schengen Space, borders were officially abandoned. But now, there are reported quite numerous routine check a few kilometres inland Germany, focused on cars with the Czech sign. The Germans explain it they want to stop criminality from rising.

The increased frequency of checks are regarded useless by the Minster of Interior Ivan Langer, who wants to solve the problem. But the alleged discrimination of Czech Citizens has been already reacted to by the Czech Foreign Ministry. They sent some particular complaints and wait for the answer.
