Estonia’s armed forces alongside police and border guards began the construction of temporary fences along the country’s eastern border, APA reports citing TASS.
"Only through real action will we find out what the joint capacity of the Defense Forces and the Police and Border Guard Board is in order to install temporary fences at the border, and what material, technical and human resources are needed for this," Egert Belitsev, Deputy Director General for Border Management of the Police and Border Guard Board, said quoted by BNS news agency as saying.
"By now, the migration pressure on Estonia has not increased, but if that changes, the prompt construction of temporary barriers will be a significant part in preventing mass illegal migration," he said.
According to the news agency, work has begun in the northeast and southeast of Estonia.
