Latvian authorities have built the first 1.8 miles (2.9 km) of a fence planned to cover 57-miles (91 km) along its border with Russia in Karsava, Tuesday, to deter illegal migrants from crossing over into the European Union.
According to reports, Latvian authorities are hoping to secure €17 million ($19 million) from Brussels to cover its construction costs.
According to figures from the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), Latvia is due to receive more than 700 refugees in 2016 under the EU's quota scheme.
