The master's thesis titled Control at the Internal Borders of the Schengen Area presents an overview of the Schengen legal order, overview of the reasons for closing internal borders in the Schengen area, and the practice of member states regarding border closures. The thesis briefly presents the historical development of the Schengen area, the legal basis for the reintroduction of internal border controls, and specific cases from practice. The master's thesis then presents some key decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union regarding the reintroduction of controls in the Schengen area and the actions of officials that have an effect equivalent to border controls. Through a concise overview, the master's thesis attempts to answer the question of whether controls at the internal borders of the Schengen area are a permanent feature, whether Schengen, as it was conceived, can come into being, and what obstacles prevent this from happening.
