Minister: number of border guards on Latvia’s eastern border has to be increased

BC, Riga, 18.05.2016.Print version
The number of border guards on Latvia's eastern border has to be increased, believes Interior Minister Rihards Kozlovskis (Unity), cites LETA.

The number of illegal migrants trying to cross into Latvia continues to increase, emphasized the minister. For this reason, the number of border guards has to be raised.

 

According to Kozlovskis, bolstering European Union borders was also discussed during a meeting of Schengen zone countries' home affairs ministers in Hungary, where the majority agreed that automatic distribution of asylum seekers, and fining countries that refuse to take in refugees, was not a solution.
