Latvia has started putting together a team of border guards and police officers to send to Poland to assist with the migration crisis cause by Belarus.
Last Sunday Latvia’s Prime Minister Krišjānis Kariņš announced after a meeting with his Polish colleague Mateusz Morawiecki in Riga that Latvia is preparing to send a team of border guards and police officers to Poland.
Latvian State Border Guard press-representative Kristīne Pētersone says a team of border guards and police officers are being put together to be sent to Poland for an exchange project and will perform duties there in accordance with the operation.
Similarly, Polish law enforcers will travel to Latvia. Lithuanian and Estonian colleagues may be involved in this project as well.
Pētersone did not say how many Latvian law enforcers will be sent to Poland or what their duties will be.
BNN previously reported that as a result of hybrid attacks, which many believe were orchestrated by Lukashenko’s regime, thousands of illegal migrants have been trying to enter Latvia, Lithuania and Poland lately. Most of those people arrived to Belarus as tourists from Iraq.
Europe accuses Minsk of attempts to take revenge for supporting Belarusian opposition and the sanctions imposed on Belarus in response to the regime’s violent repressions against protests last year.
