The European Commission has refused to allocate 500 million euros to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia for the development of anti-UAV systems, LRT reports. According to LRT, the European Commissioner for Defense and Space, Andrios Kovilios, said that the Commission had sent a response, but could not offer additional funding, and suggested using funds under the Safeguard Facility, which had €21 billion left after the first call. Also, as LRT has learned, funding may be available through the Integrated Border Management Fund, but the amounts will be significantly lower than the requested €500 million.
