“If we are talking about a state of emergency, perhaps I would consider that situation from the perspective of the State Border Guard Service. In a rather complicated situation at the state border, we would like to restrict the access of several people to the border section, to the area border, because this is where these actions are carried out, ”R. Liubajev told the LRT television program” Diena Tema “.
“I am referring to the citizens of the European Union who arrive at the border, to the barriers where illegal immigrants are currently housed. These are the people who are trying to remove and organize the expulsion of these people from the territory of the Republic of Lithuania. First of all, I am referring to those citizens, that is, citizens of various EU countries or third countries who have permanent residence permits in the countries of the European Union ”, explained the Commander of SBGS.
He added that he was also referring to those who come from the territory of the Republic of Lithuania.
“I remind you that according to the State Border Law and its Protection, to be in the border zone, in each case, these citizens must request and obtain a permit to be in this zone.
