BRUSSELS - The European Union’s (EU) border agency Frontex says the number of "illegal border crossings" at Europe's external borders dropped by 40 percent in the first two months of 2021, compared to the same period last year.
It also noted an increase of some 26 percent in the number of attempts to cross from Libya in the period.
People from the Ivory Coast and Tunisia made up the bulk of the Libyan crossings.
