The European Commission has rejected a request by Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia for €500 million in funding to develop anti-UAV measures, according to LRT. According to media reports, the European Commissioner for Defense and Space, Andrios Kovilios, stated that the Commission has sent a response, but cannot offer additional funding. He suggested using the funds within the safe instrument, which had 21 billion euros left after the first round of applications. Furthermore, LRT reported that funding may be available through the Integrated Border Management Fund, but the amounts will be significantly lower than the requested €500 million.
