Article 54(9) LITP provides a maximum detention time of three months, which may be extended by another three months. Where detention is applied in a Dublin procedure, however, it cannot exceed six weeks from the establishment of the responsibility of another Member State of the European Economic Area. If an administrative dispute has been initiated, the time limit of -six weeks shall be counted from the time the decision on dismissal becomes final.[1]
The Ministry of Interior reported that they do not keep records on the average duration of the restrictions on the freedom of movement at the Reception Centres for Foreigners. Measures for the restriction of freedom of movement are imposed as long as there are reasons listed in Article 54 paragraph 2 of the Law on International and Temporary Protection, for up to 3 months. Exceptionally, for justified reasons, measures may be extended for a maximum of three additional months.[2]
