Border Guard: Migration Control Is Improving, but Risks Remain
Officials of Latvia's State Border Guard say Operation "Vilkatis" has improved the situation on the country's border. They also report significant problems both in protecting the border and in dealing with people who have already entered Latvia.
Latvian officials working on migration and border control assess that Operation "Vilkatis" has brought improvements to the situation on the country's border, LSM reported on 11 October 2026.
At the same time, the State Border Guard, the body responsible for protecting Latvia's border, stresses that risks remain. Officials point to significant problems in two areas: the protection of the border itself, and the handling of people who have already arrived on Latvian territory.
The information available does not include details on what specific problems have been identified, how the operation is organised, or what figures describe the improvement. Those questions remain open until officials provide further explanation.
