Impressive to see how the Latvian authorities @vid_gov are controlling the Russian/Latvian border - to ensure the implementation of sanctions.

Ensuring that sanctions are fully implemented is part of my role as Commissioner, so it was great to get their practical insights.

It was good to meet with 🇱🇻 Minister of Foreign Affairs @edgarsrinkevics and discuss the importance of legal and institutional frameworks around sanctions implementation.

The Commission and Member States work closely to ensure that sanctions are implemented fully and uniformly.
