Gov’t studying Evros fence bids
The Citizens? Protection Ministry yesterday began inspecting 14 offers from private firms to construct a fence along Greece?s border with Turkey in Evros as part of an effort to deter illegal immigrants. The government hopes to have picked a successful bidder for the 5.4-million-euro project within the next few days. The structure will consist of two parallel fences, spanning about 11 kilometers and topped with barbed wire.
