Stockholm (AFP) – The number of new migrant arrivals in Sweden has dropped by a third since it reinstated border controls earlier this month, the country’s migration agency said Saturday.

“The number of (new) asylum seekers has decreased from 1,500 a day to some 900 since border controls were reintroduced” on November 12, the Swedish Migration Agency said in a statement.

Worsening weather conditions may have also contributed to the decline, it added.
