In total, 283.6 kilometers of fencing have been built on the Latvian-Russian border, providing a physical barrier where it was technically needed.
Interior Minister Rihards Kozlovskis (New Unity) said that the installation of technical equipment continues at the border. "Our overarching goal is to create the most advanced border protection on the European Union's eastern border," the minister said.
Finance Minister Arvils Aseradens (New Unity) said that the completion of the fence on the Latvian-Russian border and simultaneously developed infrastructure strengthen the State Border Guard's capabilities.
In parallel with the construction of the fence, VNI will continue to work on infrastructure in the rest of the border strip, which will include patrol trails, footbridges, and other engineering solutions.
