(Kathimerini) “Very serious” incidents that violated international regulations reportedly took place on April 26 and 27 involving vessels of the Turkish Coast Guard and the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, Frontex.
Kathimerini understands that the incidents occurred off the eastern Aegean island of Chios when Turkish Coast Guard vessels violated Greek territorial waters and made dangerous maneuvers very close to Finnish and … Swedish boats patrolling in the eastern Aegean under the umbrella of Frontex’s Poseidon operations.
Officials from both countries described the two incidents as “very serious” and briefed the head of Frontex, Fabrice [Leggeri], European Commission Vice President Margaritis Schinas, and Migration Commissioner Ylva Johansson.
