Latvia's armed forces will be involved in the process, as well as consultations with Lithuania and Estonia.
The Latvian government is preparing by the end of the year an analysis of the consequences of the possible dismantling of a railroad connection in the country's eastern direction. The Latvian armed forces will be involved in preparing the analysis, as well as consultations with Lithuania and Estonia, according to err.ee.
"We cannot rule out any possibility of strengthening national defense and security, but such decisions - both in terms of timing and scope of work - must be made after analyzing and assessing what this will mean in terms of various social and economic aspects," President Zatlers said. The President emphasized that discussions on social networks about the possible dismantling of the tracks are accompanied by a lot of emotions and few rational arguments.
Rinkevich said that a clearer picture regarding the dismantling of the railway line on the country's eastern border should emerge early next year.
The situation on the country's eastern border will remain tense for a long time, and dismantling the tracks is one of the possible solutions. Presidents and prime ministers of the Baltic states should also discuss the issue, he added.
The president plans to listen to representatives of Latvia's armed forces on the issue on Friday, but the discussion and decision-making will not begin until next year, he said, citing the government's promise to prepare a preliminary assessment of the plan by the end of this year.
"It is not good when there is a lack of detail and clarity, which creates unnecessary anxiety in society. People in Riga are discussing something, but people in Latgale do not know anything about it, which causes anxiety and spreads misinformation," Rinkevics said.
