Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said the ministers' trip to the border was part of the annual seminar between the two countries' foreign ministries.
They discussed strengthening cooperation to protect the EU's external borders, emphasizing the threats posed by Belarus and Russia.
In July, Vilnius Mayor Valdas Benkunskas noted that the city is preparing for a potential invasion due to its proximity to Belarus and the Ostrovets nuclear power plant.
On July 27, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia urged the EU to establish a defensive line along its borders with Russia and Belarus to counter military and hybrid threats.
Additionally, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia banned cars with Belarusian plates from entering their territories during July and Aug. 2024.
