Mainland EU countries tend to be more lax on boarder crossings at the moment but i've heard that they could be tightening up on this very shortly.
Belgium, Germany and lots of other European countries have signed the Schengen agreement that abolishes immigration / passport checks when traveling between them. They will only reinstate passport checks at internal Schengen borders in case of a terrorist threat, high-risk events taking place, etc.
