A special code defines the rules of the airport operation and under it passengers will be directed towards their own corridors and will not be allowed to mix in any place, he said. "The term of 'waterproof separation' is being used," Celikovsky said, adding that such measures required extensive reconstruction of the airports to prevent people from shifting from one corridor to another. The measures have already been introduced at large airports in Prague and Brno, south Moravia, Celikovsky said, adding that experts from the European Commission had inspected them. Similar measures are either under preparation at other international airports in Karlovy Vary, west Bohemia, Pardubice, east Bohemia, and Ostrava, north Moravia, or their operators are considering another alternatives of operation, Celikovsky said. Smaller international traffic allows different administrative solutions, he added. It is possible that flights from non-Schengen countries will be separated in time from flights from Schengen countries and their passengers would thus not meet at all, Celikovsky said. Until last midnight, 13 EU countries, except for Britain and Ireland, but also Norway and Iceland, which are not EU members, belonged to the Schengen area without border checks.
They have now been joined by all new EU member states that were admitted to the European Union in 2004, except from Cyprus that asked for the postponement of its entry. Along with the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Malta have thus entered Schengen.
