Latvia has completed on Tuesday the construction of a 280-kilometer fence at the border with Russia, a project that took several years and involved an investment of 166 million euros. The Latvian Ministry of the Interior stated that this barrier is one of the most important infrastructure projects for national security. Approximately six companies were involved in the construction of this barrier, which aims to improve border control. In addition, an allocation of another 20 million euros is expected for the next year, intended for patrols and surveillance technologies. Latvia, together with other Baltic states and nations in Eastern Europe, has urged the European Union to prioritize common defense projects, considering Russia's hostile behavior in the region.
