EU Lithuania Starts Building 550 km Fence on Border After Lukashenko Says Belarus Won’t Be Europe’s Detention Facility
Lukashenko: "We won’t hold anyone. They are coming not to us but to the enlightened, warm and cozy Europe."
Lithuania has begun building a fence along its border with Belarus to deter third-country migrants from entering the country.
Vilnius has declared a state of emergency to address the sharp rise in migration, which it says Belarusian authorities are encouraging.
Lithuania — which has backed and granted refuge to Belarus opposition figures — has accused its neighbour of organising border crossings for people mainly from Iraq, the Middle East, and Africa.
The double, barbed wire fence will run 550 kilometres along the 680-kilometre border between the two countries.
Lithuanian Interior Minister Agne Bilotaite has estimated the construction of the fence could cost up to €41 million.
On Friday, Lithuanian border guards said they had arrested 37 new migrants, bringing the total number of detected illegal crossings to more than 1,500 since the beginning of the year, compared with just 81 for the whole of 2020.
The European Union has said it would support its member state, which has already set up tent camps to accommodate the growing number of migrants.
Relations between Lithuania and Belarus are tense following the disputed re-election of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in August 2020.

President Alexander Lukashenko said this week that Belarus would not close its borders “and become a camp for people fleeing Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Tunisia.”
He added that such migrants were not wanting to come to Belarus but to “the enlightened, warm and cozy Europe.”
