A contingent of the Lithuanian border guard group is preparing for an operational deployment focused on enhancing border surveillance. The mission aims to deter illegal migration originating from Belarus and execute broader border protection measures within the most critical sectors, coordinated directly with Latvian border authorities. Personnel from the Lithuanian Border Guard Service will participate in this effort, bringing their own necessary transport, specialized equipment, and weaponry.
The operation will receive support from border guards associated with the Pagėgiai Border Guard Service and units from the Coast Guard Border Protection. This support package includes two service dogs. The initial deployment is scheduled to take place along the Latvian border section bordering Belarus and is planned for a duration of two weeks.
Following this initial period, any decision regarding continued assistance will be contingent upon a reassessment of the security situation at the neighboring border with Belarus. The Lithuanian Border Guard Service has confirmed that it will assume responsibility for covering all associated costs for this joint mission. This coordinated effort underscores the commitment of the Lithuanian guard forces to maintaining regional border security and managing migration flows in cooperation with neighboring EU partners.
