A fence is "sprouting" on the borders of Greece and Turkey.
In terms of height, which is five meters, this fence will surpass other fences in such places in Europe, as well as on the border between the USA and Mexico. It will also be surrounded by barbed wire.
"Raising the fence in Evros is the least we could do to secure the border and make the inhabitants of Evros feel safer," Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on October 17 during a tour of the region.
The new barriers will serve to prevent illegal border crossings and floods, while 63 million euros have been invested in that project.
In addition to the construction of the new one, the network of existing fences with steel reinforcements in the height of 4.3 meters will be improved, which is in the rank of a barrier such as the one on the border between the USA and Mexico.
The Greek government has hired an additional 400 border police to guard the Evros region, 800 in the eastern Aegean and 480 in other parts of the Hellenic Republic, the Balkan Security Network writes, Sputnik reports.
#Attention!!!! New fence in #Evros: • Strong steel railing 5m high, 27km long and 6m deep with anti-climbing, anti-tank and anti-flood. • 8 new Elevated Anti-Ballistic Observatories for the HQ, upgrade 57 prayers, each with thermal cameras.#Greece (e_amyna) pic.twitter.com/jQ8WnMO4Fb
It should be noted that the conflicts on the border between Turkey and Greece culminated during February.
Migrants tried to enter Greece - and the EU, after Ankara reduced its control, i.e. it decided not to stop refugees from Syria who are trying to reach Europe by land and sea.
Greek border guards used tear gas to disperse about 500 refugees and migrants.
Various speculations arose then, and information with videos was circulating on social networks, where it is stated that Turkey provides buses for migrants and sends them to the border crossings with Greece and Bulgaria.
If local councils do permit for the citizens of rep Serbia or rep Hungary to build a huge, ugly homes so be it. The fact that 90% of times they are empty must have a good explanation.
My friend in Subotica owns a 3 flats, 2 are empty(zvrji prazno) She would like to sell but in Subotica is a murky business.
I must point out although huge, ugly houses are 90% of time empty the house owners are paying all the bills.
I talked to my friend on the telephone and she tells me she visits her flats, does dusting, cleaning air the flats regularly and she pays the bills.
Bigger the ugly houses are the bigger bills!
People living abroad do want connection with friends in Serbia and family. And is a nest egg, something to pass onto relatives, friends, cat protection league in UK when we are gone.

One by one EU countries are fencing off. Only Mr Rama is opening albania with KiM. BG-Tirana all the way open for business. Immigrants just for the change why not try albania.
They will join EU soon, soon soon...

Atamanov brat od strica ya let them thru. Ataman needs very cheap labor on Dohány St Excerpt Orban the vain is not letting them in if no big cut for him. O well back to the drawing board.

Too bad that Orban axed Ataman's labor plans. We don't need cheap labor here in Serbia. We only need capital investments in the right places. We have too many Gastarbeiter who build enormous, ugly houses that go empty 90% of the year.

Good,
What an insult to any human being,I mean you.
First time I came face to face with mass of immigrants flooding Yugoslavia was in. 1956 from rep. Hungary. Adults tired, hungry, thirsty nowhere to sleep.
My parents took me aside and explained best they could,why and how it happend.
In UK I have met Serbs, Croats, Muslims all immigrants.I was very sad to hear their stories.
In Subotica I have met many immigrants from around the world, my heart is broken. I always aid them in my
So please don't be cruel, writing like you just did.
Immigrants need looking after.
Its EUI that created wars in their countries and Nato.

Rep Hungary in 2015 had built a razor wire fence all around.
Only a few weeks ago rep Hungary had finished a 10 km underground tunnel!
Greece had fenced off,
And Rep Slovenia is sending 1000's of police, army onto the border with Croatia to combat immigrants.
Immigrants that EU has created by illegal bombing and invading their countries for no reason.
And in reverse order should have countries like Croatia, Greece, Hungary and Slovenia ever joined EU?
Wars are started in order to create jobs for the well off companies in the west and to steal.
Not exactly hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder with their bosses in Brussels.
Rep Serbia would not know what it hit them. Maybe already they know.It is not late to apply the breaks.

Good & Mario....its a sad world really when people like you blame migrants for wanting a better life.
Do you remember America and some other western powers invading Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, etc...?
We in the west encouraged the Arab spring in 2011, we wanted regime change. And where are we today???
We have turned these countries upside down, destroyed their economies and saw millions die and perish because we insisted on them having democracy...!!!
We insisted they have our version of democracy.....but only to the nasty dictators that were against us. Such as Sadam Hussain and Gadafi..... but other "good dictators" that rule S Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, etc, are fine ...
We have reduced many countries in the middle east amd north africa to rubble and an economic dust bowl.
And when that happens what do you think these people will do?? Eat sand?
Yes of course there are now economic migrants taking advantage but we in the west created this.
And here you are talking about electric fences and such.
Shame on you....
