The 700 activists who come by train to Denmark, can expect a comprehensive passport control, when the evening at 22 o'clock rolls onto Padborg Station.

It informs the police inspector of preparedness, Svend Erik Larsen Jyske West Coast.

- We have tightened immigration controls. So it will mean that we check their passports, and then we would otherwise see how the situation is progressing, "he says.

He expects that the police will have the situation under control.

- I hope we have enough. We have received reinforcements from Copenhagen and we are usually able to control the England ferry with 1200 passengers without problems, so I think it will go relatively quickly, says Svend Erik Larsen.

He can not say anything about how many officers will be put on the job tonight, and he obviously can not say anything about the expected benefits.

Do not know the outcome
- I have no sense if we expect to catch anyone. We do not know who's in, he says.

Immigration Control Department has otherwise good intelligence from other European police associations, and also on the control component is working closely with the German police.

The Germans have set up checks and has busy to check the buses crossing the border.

But it is no guarantee that there is no escaping troublemakers known from past events into the country.

- We do our best, but there is a 110 kilometer border, and there will be buses at all times. We have to keep selective control - we're not looking for tourist buses, said police inspector.
