Italy, Spain agree to end border controls, restore Schengen rules

Italy and Spain will end random checks on travelers from each other, restoring Schengen rules. This decision follows discussions between their interior ministers and leaders. Italy had reintroduced border controls in August due to security concerns after a migration crisis, prompting Spain to implement checks on arrivals from Italy. Both countries faced criticism for the initial suspension of Schengen arrangements, as it was seen as unnecessary propaganda.
