Austria plans to build a fence at the border with Italy as part of its preparations for controls to be introduced if a surge in migrant arrivals materialises, Austrian media quoted police as saying on Wednesday.
Rome has said border restrictions at the important Brenner Pass north-south transport link would be unjustified given the small number of migrants arriving there, but Austria says it expects a wave of migrants to head north soon, the Daily Mail reported.
Italy's Prime Minister Matteo Renzi denounced the plans, saying it was "shamelessly against European rules, as well as being against history, against logic and against the future".
