On June 17, 2025, the Latvian government endorsed a bill developed by the Ministry of Defence aimed at rapidly strengthening the eastern border's military infrastructure. The law facilitates expedited construction of anti-mobility obstacles and infrastructure on the border and authorizes the expropriation of parts of real estate in strategically significant border areas, granting these properties national interest status. Cooperation with local border residents and municipalities is emphasized to ensure understanding and smooth implementation. The measures indicate Latvia's intent to fortify its border defenses against potential threats given regional security concerns.
