“We need a solid and reliable border.
It is necessary to ensure this thanks to, among other things, the construction of a physical barrier as soon as possible, ”said Interior Minister Agne Bilotaite, quoted by TASS.
The amendments declare the construction of the fence to be a state project of special significance, which will simplify many procedures and speed up its implementation.
Earlier, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda asked the European Union for additional human and financial resources to curb migration.
By now it has been decided to build a fence on credit.
On August 10, the European Commission announced that they would not finance the construction of the wall.
The Lithuanian Border Guard Service proposes to erect a mesh wall with a height of 4 m and a length of 508 km.
The costs for it can exceed € 150 million.
