I hear from some friends in the East that the administration of the Schengen zone is changing the complexion of "cross-border society" at the edges of the EU.

Now it may be unavoidable, because the price of free movement within is that the perimeter border is more policed, but at the same time, it's disrupting existing families and trading flows.

We should not be surprised that it can create great resentment for those on the "other side" of the new border.

Bringing the Schengen zone to include Poland was inevitably going t ocreate massive problems at the "lively" Poland-Ukraine border, where a lot of day-trade happens. Not sure what's happening now; it would be an interesting report to have, actually...
