Estonia is planning to increase electronic surveillance along the Narva River, which forms the northern part of its border with Russia. The board of the Estonian Police and Border Guard said the project involves the installation of six digital cameras and radar checkpoints, expanding the number of monitoring points to 15. Construction is to start in winter and finish by April 2025, with an estimated cost of about 2 million euros ($2.1 million). In April, Poland announced the construction an electronic fence on the Russian border, featuring around-the-clock surveillance cameras and motion sensors for comprehensive border oversight, particularly in the Kaliningrad region.
