Kaliningrad borders only Poland and Lithuania, members of the EU and NATO.
Last November, the Polish military began erecting a temporary 2.5-meter-high wire fence along its 232-kilometer (144-mile) border with Kaliningrad amid concerns of a new wave of migration after Moscow began allowing direct flights in the Russian enclave from Turkey and the Middle East.
Last year Poland erected a 5.5m steel fence along part of its border with Belarus after a huge increase in migrant crossings from the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
