Belarusian and Latvian boundary markers
The current border between the republics of Belarus (CIS member) and Latvia (EU member) was established after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and confirmed by an agreement of 21 February 1994 about the establishment of the border,[1] finalized on April 10, 2013, in the agreement about the functioning of the border.[2]
For about 16.6 km (10.3 mi), the border runs along the Daugava River. It also crosses the Lake Rychy and an island in the lake. The border starts from the triple junction of the borders with Lithuania ( 55°40′50.17″N 26°37′49.79″E[3] ) and continues to the east to the triple junction of the borders with Russia ( 56°10′12″N 28°09′04″E[4] )
