The Lubeva committee demonstrated video, in which Belarusian border guards are apparently trying to hide the traces left by border violators.
“Belarusian border guards appeared at the place where the group of illegal migrants was detained shortly after the violation, removing footprints to conceal the fact of crossing the border. “explains the commander.
He describes that communication with Belarusian colleagues is generally not easy. They do not react to incidents and do not admit the facts of border violations when they are presented with evidence – asking for additional evidence, after which they still refuse to admit the violation.
Due to the increase in illegal migration, security at the border with Belarus has been strengthened.
Ants Bičkovskis, an official representative of the Belarusian border guard, rejects Lithuania’s accusations and claims that Belarus is doing everything possible to ensure proper border guarding. He also accuses Lithuania of taking the position of an “unfriendly neighbor”.
The Baltic states have previously expressed readiness to receive people and companies suffering from the repression of Alexander Lukashenko. From 1 August 2020 to 15 February 2021, more than nine thousand Belarusians have applied for a residence permit in Lithuania, according to the Lithuanian Migration Service. Of these, 7,490 people received a residence permit at that time.
Migration from Belarus has increased since August last year, when the Lukashenko regime began to take revenge on demonstrators and critics of its power.
Belarus has also taken steps to to limit the outflow of people.
