Lithuanian border authorities have reported specific statistics regarding the management of migrants crossing the border, particularly in relation to the migration crisis linked to Belarus. At a recent checkpoint, Lithuanian border guards reportedly prevented 68 individuals from entering the country, while Polish border officials recorded five such people at their respective border crossings. Examining trends over the past year, officials noted a decrease in the number of migrants intercepted.
Last year, authorities restricted entry to Lithuania for over 1,650 individuals arriving from Belarus at prohibited locations. This year, the figure for those intercepted at the border was recorded at 888. These figures contribute to a cumulative total since the onset of the migration crisis stemming from Belarus.
To date, authorities have prevented the entry of nearly 25,500 illegal migrants into Lithuania. The data underscores ongoing enforcement efforts at the national border to manage irregular migration flows originating from the region. The statistics highlight the consistent monitoring and interception of migrants attempting to cross the border illegally.
