Lithuanian airports to launch modern border screening system

A new Entry - Exit System (EES) is planned to be launched at border posts later this year, Lithuanian Airports said in a statement.

The new system will directly affect third-country citizens entering the European Union (Schengen area) for the first time, who will have to undergo an additional registration procedure before crossing the border. This upcoming change will also require new infrastructure and space at border crossing points, and all Lithuanian airports are among the first in Europe to have already made these necessary changes to prepare for the start of the system.
