Boraschi: "Nicaragua's Airport Invades Costa Rica Airspace"

The Greytown airport in Nicaragua, located in the Caribbean coast, is the latest skirmish between the neighbouring countries. Costa Rica's drug czar, Mauricio Boraschi, saying that the construction of the Greytown airport violates Costa Rican airspace.

The statement was made before the Comisión Permanente Especial de Control de Ingreso y Gasto Público (Special committee on government income and expenditures).

Also appearing before the committee was the ministro de Seguridad Publico, Mario Zamora, and the deputy ministro de Seguridad, Walter Navarro, who spoke about the alleged invasion of the Isla Calero by Nicaragua in October 2010.

On Tuesday it was also learned that the Nicaraguans will also build a border road similar to that build by Costa Rica.

The presentation included photos and video of on the "threats and aggression against the sovereignty of Costa Rica", with the Costa Rican officials adding that the work (by the Nicaraguans) will cause environmental damage.

Boraschi said described the actions by Nicaragua as "reckless".
