Angelo Chiarizia, acting head of the Frontex Contingent, said in Tallinn last week that increasing Frontex’s presence in the region is “crucial” because the threat of migration attacks on the borders is unlikely to decrease in the near future.
“Member States must, of course, make their own efforts, but equally important is EU-wide cooperation to face these challenges together. Threats at our common external border require solidarity and action from the entire European Union, and Frontex is ready to support Member States with its personnel and equipment,” he said.
The permanent base in Estonia is expected to begin operations next year.
The PPA has participated in Frontex missions and Frontex border guards have also been present at Estonia’s borders and border crossing points for years.
