The Council of Ministers has decided to remove the barbed wire fence along the Green Line, a barrier installed during the tenure of former Interior Minister Nikos Nouris to curb migration flows.

The decision followed a site visit by Deputy Minister of Immigration Nicolas Ioannidis and a police evaluation report that concluded the fence was ineffective. In place of the barbed wire, authorities will increase patrols along the Green Line to bolster security in the area.
