“We remember how in 2015 Hungary built a wall from refugees heading for the country from Serbia.
In this case, we seem to observe similar measures specifically in relation to Belarus - Lithuania is now also trying to build a wall from Belarus with EU money (for the same reason as Poland) - although in general it looks like an endemic problem: people constantly want to build walls ", - he noted.
According to him, all sorts of barrage structures and walls, as a result, turn out to be not particularly effective in this matter.
As Best noted, the problem of emerging migration crises can be solved only with the help of an international agreement on how to cope with the influx of refugees as a result of wars, repression or a change of power in the country.
“The countries need to work together.
These issues were resolved not separately, by erecting some kind of walls, but by common, coordinated efforts.
I'm afraid this is one of the biggest failures of the European Union as an institution.
The dominant principle here is “just not to us”.
Each country claims to be exclusive, declaring that it is not ready to accept refugees, ”he stressed.
Earlier, the Lithuanian Seim approved amendments to some laws for the legal regulation of the construction of barriers on the border with Belarus.
As noted by the Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonyte, the fence on the border of Lithuania and Belarus will be built on credit for now.
