Frontex

Massive success against cross-border crime in Frontex-led operation National authorities worked with Frontex and @interpol.int in one of the most successful fights against cross-border crime in recent months – operation JAD Mobile 9.

🇦🇹 "Einen schönen Nationalfeiertag" As Austria celebrates its National Day, we honour the dedication of professionals like Julia, an Austrian police officer with 17 years of service.

Currently serving as a group leader in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Julia embodies multicultural cooperation, drawing on her proficiency in multiple languages and her extensive experience in international deployments, to support the efforts of local authorities and enhance security throughout Europe.

Snakes under the seats 🐍🐍🐍 At the Bogorodica border crossing point, officers intercepted a vehicle carrying eight undeclared exotic reptiles with no documentation whatsoever.

To cross an international border with exotic animals, you must obtain prior permits and official health certificates, and be aware of the specific import laws of the destination country.

📉 Irregular border crossings into the EU: down 32% in the first nine months of 2026 🔹 Just over 91 000 detections 🔹 Steepest drop: Central Mediterranean (-56%) 🔹 Only increase: Western Mediterranean (+26%)

Should you start training now? If you’d like to take part in this year’s recruitment of Frontex officers – yes, you should 😉 Even if you are in great physical shape and play sports regularly, the specific requirements of the recruitment assessment can still catch you off guard.

Not on our watch🚨 Frontex, the Spanish Guardia Civil and other Member State authorities and EU agencies just carried out a massive drug bust at Madrid Airport ✈️

Lucky at the casino, unlucky at the border 🎰 A man lost €30 500 for failing to declare his casino winnings at the EU border. Don't let your good luck go to waste. The rules are simple: 📝€10k+ must be declared ❌ No declaration = your money gets seized

What makes a state hold when the pressure does not stop? At @warsawforum.bsky.social, our Executive Director Hans Leijtens answered from the border: Member States lead, Frontex is at their side, and resilience is a mindset, seeing what is changing and adapting. #WSF2026

Stronger borders, safer Europe. 🇪🇺 We welcomed MEP Lena Düpont (spokesperson for the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs - LIBE) to Frontex Contingent 7 in Tallinn.

Today near the Polish-Ukrainian border, Frontex, EUAA and IOM launched the EU4IBM and Asylum Partnership: three years of EU-funded work with Ukraine’s border and asylum authorities.

€7.5 million from the European Union under the Ukraine Facility Instrument. Frontex works with the State Border Guard Service on border management, risk analysis, training and situational awareness, EUAA with the State Migration Service on asylum, and IOM supports delivery across Ukraine.

Although they have different responsibilities, cooperation at sea matters. Frontex supports Member States in managing the EU’s external borders, while EFCA supports fisheries control.

Together with EMSA, Frontex and EFCA collaborate on European coast guard functions through information sharing, conducting maritime surveillance, providing trainings, risk analysis and capacity building.

Criminal network empire dismantled 📢 Frontex officers along with thousands from other countries just concluded the biggest operation against organised crime carried out between Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean: ATLAS NEXUS. @europol.europa.eu @interpol.int

Making good things even better! Frontex's vulnerability assessments help EU Member States fill in any gaps that they might have on their borders.
