During the press conference, Interior Minister Agnė Bilotaitė and SBGS Asset Management Board Head Žydrūnas Karčiauskas presented the progress of the container house installation.
Will stay next week
Up to 1,000 migrants will be able to live in the container city, it will be divided into several zones.
According to A. Bilotaitė, the first refugees will be accommodated in Medininkai next week.
“The priority, of course, will be to loosen the barriers where illegal immigrants live and make it possible for officials to do their jobs and for immigrants to live where they belong,” the minister said.
The first to settle in the cabins are vulnerable people, mothers with children.
“It is not good for babies and young children to live in very difficult conditions. We have to take care of them first, and healthy young men can still suffer, ”said A. Bilotaitė.
There will be sanitary blocks in the city of container houses: the dining room, where it is planned to feed hot food, said Žydrūnas Karčiauskas, director of the SBGS Property Management Board.
“There will be a room and a leisure area, because there will be families with children so that they have something to do. There will be houses of prayer and places where sports will be available, “he said.
“The illegal migrants themselves are from different countries, of different religions. To make them feel better, they will be divided into zones,” said the director of the SBGS Asset Management Board.
It is not yet possible to answer how long it will take to install the project itself, since everything will depend on the weather conditions.
According to the minister, preparations for the cold season are already underway
Rented containers
We remind you that the three-year contract was signed last week with the freight forwarding and transport company Arijus after unprecedented negotiations, according to the purchase report.
According to the representative of SBGS, Giedrius Mišutis, at the beginning of August some 200 container houses should be built at the Border Guard School in Medininkai and up to 900 immigrants will be accommodated.
SBGS had announced a tender for the container lease, but eventually signed a contract through unannounced negotiations to build the cabins as soon as possible.
“The tender was announced, there were bidders and after the queue it was clear that the tender would take a long time, at least ten days, if it was carried out in the usual way. As this is an object of special urgency and this situation is aggravated by the crisis of undocumented migrants, there is no place to accommodate people, so (…) a contract was signed with the company that offered the lowest price ” . G. Mišutis told BNS.
According to him, if necessary, the huts will be able to be expanded by building a second floor in them.
Container house rental is currently funded from the budget, but the funds are expected to be covered by European Union funds at a later date. They will cost 1.5 thousand per month. euros.
Deputy Interior Minister Arnoldas Abramavičius told BNS earlier that migrants from border barriers, municipal premises, schools and other places will be transferred to this city.
2 migrants were detained, more than 100 were returned
Last day, Lithuanian officials detained two illegal immigrants and handed over more than 100 people, according to data released by Statistics Lithuania and border guards on Friday.
The number of detained migrants has dropped dramatically in recent days, as border guards were allowed to return to Belarus and be directed to official border checkpoints.
Rokas Pukinskas, a representative of the State Border Guard Service, confirmed to the SNB that more than 100 migrants were handed over last day.
4,112 migrants entered Lithuania through the Belarusian border this year, Statistics Lithuania reported. Many of them are from Iraq.
Lithuania accuses the Belarusian regime of organizing migration flows and calls it hybrid aggression. Because of this, a state of emergency has been declared in the country.
