The entire Latvian-Belarusian border will be equipped with technical security systems by the end of 2026, stated the head of the State Border Guard, Guntis Pujāts

"The Russian border will also be built, but currently the funding will ensure the construction of the Latvian-Belarusian border according to the highest standards," emphasized Pujāts.

This means that the border will be continuously monitored – there will be both video cameras and sensors.

He said that Latvia has managed to obtain funding from the European Union worth 7.5 million euros, which practically covers the entire construction of the border infrastructure between Latvia and Belarus.
