The temporary decision applies to Nordhavn, from Wednesday to 12.00 on Saturday, when European heads of state and government meet in the Danish capital. The area is being guarded, among other things, by the Danish defense.
For the Danish police, the effort in the coming days is one of the largest carried out in several years, says Vice Police Inspector Lasse Michelsen to DR.
We are getting help from Swedish colleagues and colleagues from all over Denmark, he says.
The extensive security effort is taking place after repeated drone alarms over several Danish airports, including Kastrup, and military facilities.
During the meeting, Sweden is lending a unit with anti-drone capability and "a handful of powerful radar systems", wrote Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (The Moderate Party) earlier in the week on X. Swedish bomb dogs and motorcycle police are also on site.
In addition to Swedish assistance, the USA, France, the United Kingdom, Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, and Ukraine are providing support.
