Естонія фіксує зростання нелегальної міграції

According to Ukrinform, this was stated by the Minister of Internal Affairs of Estonia Igor Taro, ERR reported.

Taro noted that more than 40 people suspected of illegal stay in Estonia were detained during the week.

He noted that illegal migrants enter the country in waves.

"Most likely, they gather in forest camps in Belarus, and then they are transported in groups, not alone. Probably, the Belarusian side considers this approach more effective: if, for example, a mass passage through a tunnel or fence is organized, then we are talking about large groups of people, and not about one or two people. Isolated cases would indicate spontaneous illegal migration.

Estonia also asked for Finland's help in solving the problem of illegal migrants.

Context

“In essence, we are trying to cover the period before the onset of cold weather. Historical data show that as soon as frosts begin, illegal immigrants become uncomfortable hiding in Belarusian forests, they become more difficult to control, so migration pressure usually decreases, "Taro said.

What's next

According to him, Estonia continues to rotate border guards on the border of Latvia with Belarus.

"There was a lull for a while, but I recently visited Latvia and got acquainted with the situation. I got the impression that the situation remains difficult, so we decided to continue the mission of ESTPOL to solve the problem directly at the place of its occurrence, "he said.
