Belarusian border fence improves security says minister

A fence on the Polish-Belarusian border has already improved the country's security, despite the fact that it is still under construction, Polish Deputy Interior Minister Blazej Bobozy has said. Over 140 kilometres of the 187-kilometre-long fence stretching along the border have already been completed. Construction started in late January following a crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border caused by thousands of migrants, most from the Middle East, attempting to cross the Polish frontier from Belarus and enter the European Union.
