River and fog instead of fence and radars: guarding Lithuania s easternmost border
Increasing migrant flows from Belarus mean that we need to do more patrolling, say border guards at Tverečius checkpoint in eastern Lithuania. As this section of the border is not equipped with surveillance systems, officers rely on assistance from local residents.
The State Border Guard Service (VSAT) monitors more than 52 kilometres of Belarusian border in the Tverečius checkpoint, the easternmost corner of Lithuania.
The checkpoint is surrounded by several ponds, as well as forests and swamps further away.
