Lithuania reports 13 days without illegal migrants at Belarus border

Lithuania has reported a notable absence of illegal migrants crossing its border from Belarus. For thirteen consecutive days, the State Border Guard Service (VSAT) has not registered any unauthorized border crossings. This period of calm follows months of tension and a significant number of attempted crossings that had previously strained relations between Lithuania and Belarus.

The situation at the border has been a focal point of concern for Lithuania and the European Union, with accusations that Belarus was orchestrating the movement of migrants to destabilize the region. The lull in crossings suggests a potential shift in tactics or a successful implementation of border control measures. However, authorities remain vigilant, as the situation can change rapidly.

While the exact reasons for the cessation of illegal crossings are not detailed, the sustained period without incidents offers a temporary reprieve. The VSAT continues its monitoring operations to ensure border security and prevent any resurgence of illegal migration flows.
