Norway plans to build fence along its border with Russia
The Norwegian government is considering constructing a fence along the border with Russia to deter a potential influx of refugees, NRK reported on Sept. 28.
Building the fence could enhance security, particularly in the event of a refugee surge, Norwegian Minister of Justice Emilie Enger Mehl said.
“This idea is particularly interesting not only because it can act as a deterrent but also because it includes sensors and technologies that can detect people moving near the border. This is a measure that could be relevant for the entire border or its parts.”
“We are working on considering several measures,” she said.
“This could involve personnel, fencing, border monitoring, and steps around the Storskog border station to manage traffic more effectively.”
