On Monday, Belarusian President Alyaksandr Lukashenka has approved the resolution on protecting the state border in 2020.
According to him, border security is a priority of the state policy. Referring to the growth of illegal migration, drug trafficking and other criminal activities, Alyaksandr Lukashenka expressed regret at the number of challenges and threats that Belarusian border services are facing.
As the improvement of border infrastructure does not come cheap, the Belarusian leader called some neighbours to back Belarus more.
“We need to make use of the interest of the European Union in closer cooperation with Belarus in countering common threats. There are dozens of such common threats facing both Belarus and the European Union. Improving border infrastructure is, of course, not cheap. We look forward to greater support and assistance. By the way, not only on the part of the European Union. We share border with the Russian Federation,” state-run news agency BelTA quotes Lukashenka.
