The former head of state first emphasized the urgent construction of a physical barrier.
„24 h. per day 7d. per week and don’t be afraid of higher costs. If necessary, adjust public procurement laws and procedures, ”he wrote on Facebook.
And as long as there is no physical barrier, two solutions are needed.
“As long as there is no physical barrier, the use of troops at the border is very dangerous, as there are likely to be armed conflicts. What you may want to provoke. In the absence of a physical barrier, it is impossible to prove who crossed the border. Therefore, the introduction of a state of emergency on the border, without a very specific definition of how the army will be deployed, is very dangerous in terms of military conflict.
It is necessary to change the public procurement law and not be afraid of the accusations of the “golden fence”, because now there is an existential challenge to the security of the State, “said D. Grybauskaitė.
According to D. Grybauskate, another urgent task is “the movement of cargo from Belarus must be specially inspected or even stopped”.
“It was promised to organize a large smuggling of migrants, migrant flows and even reactive materials to Lithuania. So far, the promises are being kept. Therefore, the transport of fertilizers by trains and tractors from Belarus must be thoroughly inspected or even restricted, ”wrote D. Grybauskaitė.
Likewise, propose and make concrete proposals with other EU countries for urgent changes in EU migration policy.
“Interpretations of the UN Refugee Convention have already been extended to the EU in such a way that the EU itself becomes insecure. Working with partners to return illegal immigrants,” he said.
Another important aspect, according to D. Grybauskaitė, is the active policy of dissuasion of migrants and active communication in the foreign press and on the Internet.
Also, together with the partners: work for the return of migrants who have crossed the border illegally ”.
“Together with the EU and NATO partners, dismantle the criminal networks of human trafficking,” said D. Grybauskaitė.
The outgoing head of the country also advised against making serious communication errors that damage reputation and trust.
“It just came to our attention then. For example, do not pose on a fence that you practically do not have,” outgoing head of state D. Grybauskaitė wrote on Facebook on Tuesday.
Lithuanian border officials detained and returned dozens of illegal immigrants to Belarus on Tuesday night, Deputy Interior Minister Arnoldas Abramavičius told LRT radio on Tuesday.
According to him, these cases occurred in the districts of Švenčionys, Šalčininkai and Ignalina.
Rokas Pukinskas, a representative of the State Border Guard Service, told the delfi.lt news portal that several illegal groups had been returned. In some cases, border guards were assisted by military police and dog cynologists were used.
The Interior Ministry said in a Facebook account on Tuesday that it had evidence that “Belarusian officials are involved in organizing illegal migration.”
“On Sunday, an illegal group of immigrants was escorted from the Frontex helicopter that was participating in the operation in the Šalčininkai district, accompanied by an agency car and the people who were in it. Vehicles of this model are used by officials of the Belarusian State Borders Committee, “says the entry.
On Monday, Interior Minister Agnė Bilotaitė signed an order allowing border guards to turn away illegal immigrants going to Lithuania and direct them to border checkpoints or diplomatic missions.
Presenting the decision on the LRT television program “Dienos Tema”, A. Bilotaitė affirmed that international law allows the reversal of migrants if that solution is temporary and if migrants are offered an alternative opportunity to request asylum.
A total of 4,026 foreigners entered Lithuania illegally this year.
Lithuania has declared an emergency situation due to the increase in illegal immigration. The country’s officials take the position that the increase in migratory flows is an organized action of the Minsk regime against Lithuania.
