Borders across Europe to STAY sealed for months as Schengen dream found TOO RISKY
Struggling Schengen was all-but destroyed in 2016 when countries began blocking their borders to stop illegal immigration.
Under the arrangement European citizens can travel without a visa through the designated zone, covering most of the bloc.
However, as scores of migrants from Syria, Africa and all over the Middle East began making their way through Italy and Greece to inland Europe, borders were sealed.
The introduction of border controls was a divisive issue but member states stood their ground, with Hungary and Austria erecting huge fences to stop entry.
It was widely hoped among EU supporters Schengen will be saved but the EU commission has now confirmed an extension of border controls.
