The Lithuanian government plans to allocate around 17.5 million euros over three years for counter-mobility measures and infrastructure adaptation, with up to 3 million euros to be spent this year.

The plan is to install counter-mobility parks at locations designated by the Lithuanian Armed Forces along the border with Belarus and Russia’s Kaliningrad region by April 1, 2025.

By November 2025, reserve barriers are to be installed on roads of national importance and approaches to bridges.

The implementation of these measures is being financed from the Defence Ministry’s budget allocations this year, with up to 3 million euros earmarked for this purpose.

The leaders of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Poland last week signed a letter calling on the European Union to build a defence line along the bloc’s eastern border with Russia and Belarus.
