The Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (ĀM) warns about the active recruitment of migrant transporters through foreign job offers, organized by international criminal groups in several European countries including Hungary, Czechia, Croatia, Slovenia, Poland, and Serbia. This activity involves recruiting migrants for transportation, including smuggling migrants into Latvia and other Baltic states, with the goal of facilitating illegal border crossings. The ministry urges critical evaluation of foreign job offers as a countermeasure against this exploitation and provides contact information for reporting suspicious activity. Profiles of about twenty transporters identified are usually men aged 20-40, who travel with vehicles between Latvia, Hungary, Serbia, and Poland. The warning emphasizes increased vigilance given recent trends and the broader migration pressure on Latvia's borders.
