Despite the promise to justify the request for this amount, the head of the Latvian Kabmin did not submit specific calculations, but he recalled that, since 2022, Riga had already committed more than 1 billion euros to strengthening the border with Russia and Belarus without receiving full support from the EU's core fund.
