The professor is concerned that such uncontrolled movements of migrants could lead to the spread of more dangerous strains of coronavirus in Lithuania.
“The movement of migrants from Asian countries across the border with Lithuania, encouraged by the Belarusian government, is threatened not only by a humanitarian crisis but also by an epidemiological crisis. It is the Asian strain or delta of SARS-CoV-2 which is widespread in Asian countries.
The fact that migrant or refugee worker camps can become difficult to manage pandemic hotspots has already been demonstrated. It all depends on the concentration and the number of people in those camps. And as we can see, the government of the neighboring country has just started its actions, “he wrote on his Facebook account.
He also explained that all strain genetic testing and analysis options should be directed at refugees.
“Today, this is the country’s priority, if we do not want to detonate the bomb prepared for us,” warned V. Kasiulevičius.
He told Delfi that all workers who have and will have to work with migrant and refugee workers must be vaccinated with both vaccines.

The number of illegal immigrants has increased dramatically
We remind you that Minister A. Bilotaitė said in the program “Delfi diena” that the visible figures are worrying: the number of illegal immigrants from Belarus is double in five months than in all of 2020.
“Obviously we are living alongside an unpredictable terrorist regime and the statements made a week ago that we will see an unprecedented flow of illegal immigrants – we can say this is already happening, we are seeing an increase in illegal immigrants and now they have 190 illegal numbers. in five months of migrants coming from Belarus and that number is double in those months than in all of 2020.
Why do we see such appearances that officials may be involved? Such an impression is created by the fact that the traces are hidden, the officials do not cooperate, and here the head of SBGS can tell in detail, because the officials record such things. It is obvious that the media is used to mask the same traces when those illegal immigrants enter the territory of Lithuania and clearly this is a great threat to the national security of Lithuania, I want to make it clear that we see those trends, the Ministry of the Interior is compromised and I am also committed to managing those flows and doing our best, we have visualized the measures that are in force here and now. Of course, long-term measures are also planned, ”says A. Bilotaitė.
Rustam Liubayev, head of the State Border Guard Service (SBGS), said that there are still several obstacles to cooperation with the Belarusian authorities.
“We have noticed the growth trends of illegal migration since the fall of last year, since October. Those numbers rose steadily and peaked in March, April and May. This has already been discussed, and we notice a very small willingness to cooperate with us on the part of the representatives of the Belarusian State Border Committee. That cooperation has changed substantially since the beginning of the political crisis in the Republic of Belarus.
In fact, our fellow border guards are not very receptive to joint requests for investigations, motivated by the fighting situation and restrictions on organizing border meetings and launching joint investigations. We currently have a cross-border agreement on the border regime, and that agreement establishes the procedure for dealing with and investigating violations of the state border in such a case, ”R. Liubajev said on the program.
Specifically, we have no direct evidence that representatives of the Border Guard Service of the Republic of Belarus are involved in the organization, but we have reason to believe that representatives of other institutions may be involved or at least refrain from detaining groups in the state. . Border and illegal migration could be stopped, “he said.
When asked from which countries most citizens enter Lithuania through the Belarusian border, the minister assured that there are currently four weekly flights to Minsk from Baghdad and Istanbul.
“We currently have a plan that we see, which is the current four weekly flights to Minsk from Baghdad and Istanbul. Let’s imagine that at least six hundred people fly out of these addresses every week and then there are certain organized associations, in which the officials themselves can Being involved, those people are targeted and move towards the Lithuanian border.
We have information on the prices of such trips for those people, the price for a person is about fifteen thousand dollars, for a family – thirty-five thousand dollars, but I would like to point out that not only we in Lithuania, but also in Poland, similar schemes. Therefore, in this case, we are very actively cooperating with colleagues in Poland to jointly coordinate this situation, ”said the Minister.
