It turns out that figures can give you a false impression. If 106 of violators of illegal “green” borders were arrested on the eastern border of Latvia in 2017, then in the first half of this year the State Border Guard detained 101 illegal immigrants. However, in terms of numbers, immigrants become less. The number of large imprisoned immigrants was caused by the effectiveness of the border guard operation. Thanks to the efforts of the security authorities, investment in new technologies and successful cross-border cooperation, the flow of illegal traffic has been greatly reduced.

The project is co-financed by the Latvia-Lithuania programme. Project Lead partner is latvian State police.
