Jakub Wolinski has filed a lawsuit against the German authorities for border controls they have introduced.

The measures are intended to prevent illegal immigration, but he says they violate free-movement rules.

Wolinski lives in the German town of Görlitz but regularly travels to Zgorzelec in Poland , which lies across the Lusatian Neisse River that marks the border between the two countries.

Around half of them were Ukrainian , with the next largest national groups being Syrians and Afghans .

Many of the irregular migrants arriving in Germany have first entered the EU across Poland ’s border with Belarus , whose authorities have encouraged and helped them to cross.

Poland has taken tough measures to prevent such arrivals, including building a physical and electronic barrier along the border.
