“Yes, there is such a discussion, I spoke with the prime minister. If we see that the situation deteriorates and returns increase, we will not rule out the possibility of strengthening border protection between Poland and Lithuania, because it is also our commitment,” he told the press this Saturday.
“There is no solution, because this situation is not so acute yet. But it can be done, we would also inform our Polish colleagues, “added the minister.
According to him, patrols in this section of the border would be strengthened, but this would not mean a permanent resumption of border controls, only the selective detention of suspicious cars.
Polish border guards have returned dozens of migrants who entered the country from Lithuania to Lithuania. Several of them who were preparing to cross this border were also detained by Lithuanian institutions. Migrants crossing the border illegally are believed to be trying to reach Western European countries such as Germany.
Landsbergis also says he learned from Poland’s foreign minister on Friday that he had also appealed to the Turkish government in support of Lithuania’s requests for cooperation to stop the flow of migrants.
“We have the full support of Poland,” said the minister.
This year, a total of 2,023 illegal immigrants were detained on the border with Belarus. This figure is 25 times higher than in 2020.
