The new digital Entry-Exit System (EES) has identified more than 8,700 individuals who had exceeded their permitted duration of stay in the Schengen zone. These travellers were subsequently denied entry into the border-free area during the system's first six months of operation, as reported by The Local.
The EES, designed to monitor the movement of non-EU citizens, has now been in effect for half a year. Officials have utilised the technology to track compliance with time limits for international visitors entering the region.
