The Estonian government has approved the building of a 2.5-meter fence on its border with Russia as the latest measure aimed at fortifying Estonia’s part of EU outer borders, local media report.
“We will build a 2.5-meter fence along 90 to 135 kilometers of the land border,” Pevkur said, adding that the border would be enhanced with warning signs, light fixtures, boundary stones and even special barriers aimed at preventing animals from crossing.
Latvia has proved more consistent in its intention to fence itself off from Russia.
In early August 2015, Latvian Interior Minister Rihards Kozlovskis announced plans to build a 90-kilometer wall on the country’s border with Russia. It will be equipped with CCTV cameras and sensor systems. The project should take four years and cost €17 million, according to the minister.
