New language versions of FRA’s guidance on monitoring fundamental rights compliance at borders available

FRA’s guidance on setting up national independent mechanisms to monitor compliance with fundamental rights during screening and the asylum border procedure  is now also available in more languages. It is now also in Croatian, Czech, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish and Spanish.
