"Hybrid attacks on the border between Belarus and the EU, where third-country nationals are used to illegally cross the border, should be jointly condemned," RIA Novosti quoted Karisa as saying.

He noted that "Belarus must stop these actions."

Karis stressed that “such behavior of the Belarusian regime poses a threat to regional security”.

“This is a serious violation of human rights, and we must be ready to introduce new restrictive measures against Belarus,” the president added.

Earlier it was reported that Lithuania will purchase another 300 km of barbed wire for installation on the border with Belarus.
