The border in Evros is European and will be protected, stated European Commission Vice President Margaritis Schinas.
“We have the largest Frontex land operation in Europe here, at this border. It is a European border that is guarded and also a border that symbolises European values because we can protect our borders while at the same time respecting human rights and freedoms and European values,” Schinas said during his visit to the border station at Kipi last Friday.
It was the EU executive’s third visit to Evros.
Less than five years since the launch of its new mandate, @Frontex is running the largest operation at a land border in Europe in #Evros.
