Norway is contemplating the construction of a fence along its 198-kilometer border with Russia to enhance security measures. The idea was proposed by Justice Minister Emilie Enger Mehl, who highlighted the potential benefits of using technology and sensors within the fence to detect any unauthorized border crossings.
The Norwegian government is exploring various options to bolster security in the Arctic north region, including the possibility of erecting a fence, increasing border staff, or enhancing monitoring capabilities. The Storskog border station, the sole official crossing point from Russia to Norway, has seen minimal illegal border crossing attempts in recent years.
