Polish soldiers are closed on the closed border Czech Republic two warning shots were fired after a German man entered Poland without permission. The man remained unharmed, said a spokesman for the responsible Polish army unit on Wednesday at the German Press Agency in Warsaw. The incident occurred on Tuesday at a border crossing in the village of Pilszcz in the Opole Voivodeship, a few kilometers north of the Czech city of Opava (Troppau).
Poland has its limits as protection against the spread of the Corona virus closed to foreigners since March 13th. According to the army spokesman, the German drove up to the border post in a car. When the soldiers informed him that he was not allowed to enter Poland, the man got out of the car and walked to the Polish side. “He didn’t respond to the request to stop.” So the soldiers finally fired two warning shots and overwhelmed the man.
Fine for illegal border crossing
The German, who has his permanent residence in the Czech Republic, was handed over to the Polish border guards. “He couldn’t explain what he wanted in Poland,” said a spokeswoman. The man was fined the equivalent of 110 euros for illegal border crossing and was brought back to the Czech Republic.
Just a few days ago, Polish soldiers stopped three Czech women on the same border section after accidentally entering Polish territory while riding horses. “The riders were instructed by the border guards and returned to the Czech Republic,” said the army spokesman. In contrast to the German, they would have acted without purpose.
