According to him, the cabins will be able to accommodate a total of 850 migrants; containers are waiting to arrive.
“It just came to our notice then. Purchases made, 850 places would be moved to the Medininkai Border Guard School. This will be in early August. Acquisitions would increase, I think it is already happening, the State Border Guard Service He is buying it, ”the deputy minister told BNS on Friday.
According to him, the migrants will be transferred to this city from border barriers, municipal premises, schools and other places.
“It does not mean that new people are not filled, the process is permanent. There will be new containers, new places will be sought, ”he said.
A. Abramavičius also ensured that another new camp should appear in the fall, currently one of the most realistic variants is the 16-hectare territory in the town of Augustów near Švenčionėliai.
“Until now, but let’s understand that we are not going to look for camping options, that there are only nine municipalities in the municipality of Švenčionys, on the border, there could be in all municipalities, I would not want to seek any opposition (…). October is a critical period, but I will not say the deadline yet, “said A. Abramavičius.
The largest camp – 2 thousand. migrants
The deputy minister also assured that no more than 2,000 people would live in the largest migrant camp. people, although according to the most pessimistic scenario, it is estimated that Lithuania can receive 40 thousand. migrants.
“The black scenario – yes, it can cover 40 thousand migrants, but what does that mean in what time frame? If we already have 3 thousand in July, it could be 40 thousand a year, that number is completely real. But by no means They cannot be in one place, “said A. Abramavičius.
According to him, both the requirements of the international migration organization and the requirements for the organization of practical camps provide for no more than 5 thousand. individual camps.
“On the other hand, in Lithuanian conditions we are 5 thousand. We are not ready because camps of this size are usually set up on the southern edges. But let’s say 1.5-2 thousand. it would be the optimal number “, added the interlocutor.
The Division of Strategic Communication of the Ministry of the Interior presented its position on the reports of about 40 thousand. migrants.
“We would like to inform you that the Commander of the State Border Guard Service, speaking of 40 thousand. migrants – presented this figure as a worst-case example in preparation for this type of crisis management exercise a few years ago. Švenčionys is among the municipalities where the construction of housing for immigrants is being considered. In the near future, up to 500 migrants will be staying at Dieveniškės. Preliminarily, in August, a modular house camp will be located in Medininkai, in the territory of the Border Guard School, which will be able to house up to 900 people with the possibility of expanding the number of migrants to 1,700.
The celebrations are ready to assign two places.
In turn, the Švenčionys district municipality, in preparation for the construction of a refugee town, proposed two territories: in addition to the one mentioned near Švenčionėliai, border residents and other officials are considering the possibility of using a plot in Pabradė, near the school, for the construction of modular houses.
Jovita Rudėnienė, director of the Švenčionys district municipal administration, told BNS that in total the ministry plans to house around 2,000 people in the district. migrants, but as far as the most suitable object near Švenčionėliai.
“This is a 16-hectare parcel that we manage under a loan agreement from the National Land Service. This area is a bit far from the city center, surrounded by some forests, within a radius of one kilometer there are garden communities. So the most important conversation is about security itself: building a physical fence, protecting security services, border guards and other services, ”said J. Rudėnienė.
According to the director, it is estimated that 800-1000 migrants could stay in this area; there are also buildings and communications in disuse.
Another area of just over two hectares proposed by the municipality is in Pabradė, next to the school building; Several groups from the renovated Pabradė kindergarten are currently moving there. According to J. Rudėnienė, if it is decided to house the migrants not only in modular houses, but also in the existing building, “we will find ways to move the entire kindergarten and concentrate the children elsewhere.”
“There would be 2-3 hectares and an administrative building, there is a large dining room, a kitchen, food (cooking) would be available there. But so far we are looking at the engineering: there is electricity, water supply, sewerage, because these are important indicators for choosing a place and caring for refugees. So far, the possibility of whether there will be a real solution is being explored. But because of Augustów, if the Dieveniškės circuit, the border guard school, is full, the point beyond would be here, ”he said.
Mayor: Only recognitions are made
The mayor of the Švenčionys district, Rimantas Klipčius, says that in one or more cities “there are no more than a thousand or two thousand migrants”, because as the cold season approaches, people will have to be relocated from tents in firewalls and other places.
“Of course, we shouldn’t talk about numbers like 40 thousand, because logically, we probably understand that no one would build such a city in one place, it is impossible to create it. We are talking that there could be a camp of several thousand migrants somewhere in Lithuania, ”said R. Klipčius.
The Ministry of the Interior faced active resistance from the Dieveniškės community of the Šalčininkai district to the accommodation of immigrants near the gym in this city. For his part, R. Klipčius says that until a specific place is agreed, no talks are taking place with the neighbors, but next week all the factions of the municipality are invited to discuss the issues with representatives of the Ministries of the Interior, Education and other ministries.
The mayor says that the most important requirement of the municipality would be to ensure the safety of the population, that is, to surround the town with a physical fence, to guarantee the patrol of officials or security services.
He also assured that he could not yet answer whether the use of the areas would require the approval of the city council, since they were administered by the National Land Service and loaned to the municipality.
“We plan to have a joint committee meeting where we will speak; it is necessary that the council members hear the message clearly so that they can communicate more clearly with the residents. Because when those headlines come out that such numbers will be placed, this is not true, just exploration is taking place. Yes, it is said that there will be a thousand, perhaps even two thousand (…). And the city council will make one or another decision in accordance with the legal acts in force, if necessary, “emphasized the head of the municipality .
In recent months, Lithuania has faced a significant increase in illegal migration; In total, more than 2.4 thousand people have already tried to enter the country through Belarus this year. illegal migrants. Lithuanian officials call the increased migration an organized action by the neighboring country’s regime against Lithuania.
