Border checks have been introduced as migrants continue to flock into Europe in search of a safe haven.
Sweden announced the introduction of the temporary border checks to control the flow of migrants into the country.
Swedish Interior Minister, Anders Ygeman, said that this became necessary after Police warned that a surge in new arrivals posed a threat to public order.
The controls would come into effect from midday local time on Thursday and would last initially for 10 days.
This comes as European Union (EU) and African leaders gather in Malta to discuss measures to stem the flow of people into Europe.
On the day the summit began, 14 migrants drowned in the latest boat sinking between Turkey and the Greek island of Lesbos.
Seven of those who died were children.
Coastguards said they had rescued 27 survivors.
