Estonia's minister says it's "rush hour" at the Belarus border as Lithuania finds another smuggling tunnel
So what? A minister explicitly describing Belarus as directing migrants into specific terrain, rather than merely tolerating the flow, keeps the state-complicity framing squarely on the table even without a legal case yet to test it. Watch whether Vilnius or Riga follows the tunnel discoveries with a criminal referral naming specific Belarusian officials, since that would be the first concrete legal test of a complicity claim Baltic governments have so far only made in public statements.
