VRM: In order to reduce irregular secondary migration, Lithuania strengthens border monitoring with Latvia

The VRM has issued a directive detailing enhanced security protocols that will impact movement across key transit points. According to the decision, the deployment of surveillance technologies will be intensified. Furthermore, increased patrolling efforts will be implemented across various critical infrastructure, including internal border areas, major transport hubs, and at both air and sea ports.

The scope of these enhanced security measures involves comprehensive inspections. These inspections will be conducted based on a continuous assessment of available intelligence and a proactive evaluation of potential risks. The Ministry issuing the guidance emphasized that these actions do not constitute a reinstatement of traditional internal border controls.

Instead, the measures are being executed strictly in compliance with the requirements stipulated by European Union legislation, thereby ensuring the continued free movement of persons within the Schengen area. The Minister’s decision formally assigns the State Border Guard Service (VSAT) the primary responsibility for organizing and coordinating the implementation of these planned security enhancements. The operational framework for these joint actions will involve several governmental bodies.

Specifically, the Police Department, the Public Security Service (VST), and the Customs Department are mandated to contribute their resources and expertise to support the unified security efforts along the various border and transit points. These coordinated efforts aim to balance heightened security measures with the established framework for free movement.
