Ukraine and Poland will carry out joint control at all road checkpoints. The relevant proposal, developed by the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Customs and Border Services, was presented to the Polish side today during the visit of President of the Republic of Poland Andrzej Duda.

Today, joint border and customs control is already carried out at four checkpoints for passenger and passenger cars on the Ukrainian-Polish border.

"Transport cooperation with Poland in the conditions of russia’s aggression against Ukraine has become a model of true good neighborliness. We have already managed to partially liberalize freight transport, in particular, I am grateful to Poland for providing the possibility of unauthorized passage through its territory of trucks transporting fuel to Ukraine. We are also working on the creation of a joint railway company to increase the export potential of the Ukrainian economy.

The potential for growth of cooperation is not exhausted, especially with regard to the capacity of road checkpoints. We invited our Polish colleagues to exercise joint control over all checkpoints. Thanks to the "single window" approach, the duration of registration and waiting in line will be reduced by 1.5 times, which is of interest to both states.

We expect that the successful experience of such cooperation will be extended to the checkpoint with other EU neighbors. Our goal is the full liberalization of trucking with the European Union, "said Infrastructure Minister Olexandr Kubrakov.

In addition to reducing queuing time, expanding jointly controlled checkpoints is expected to improve the efficiency of stationary scanning systems and reduce corruption risks.
