Ukraine and Poland are developing measures to unblock the border

A meeting of representatives of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine and Poland was held in Warsaw to unblock the border.

The measures agreed by the parties include:

• Opening of the checkpoint “Ugryniv – Dolgobychuv” for the passage of empty trucks to increase the capacity of the border and reduce the load on other checkpoints.

• Creation of separate passes for empty vehicles at the checkpoints “Jagodzin – Dorogusk” and “Krakivets – Korchova” in the system. It is at these checkpoints that there are physical lanes for empty vehicles directly at the checkpoint on both the Ukrainian and Polish sides.

• Launch of a pilot project with registration in eCherha (eQueue) immediately before crossing the border at the checkpoint “Nizankovychy – Malhovice” for a period of one month.

The issue of cancellation or changes to the “transport visa-free” was not discussed and was not on the agenda.

At the same time, Polish protesters insist on the operation of “Ugryniv – Dolgobychiv” and “Nyzhankovychi – Malhovice” only for EU-registered transport.

“This position is unacceptable for Ukraine and the European Union, because it is a discriminatory norm against other countries. The latter was confirmed during the meeting of the Ukraine-Poland-EU Coordination Platform with the participation of the leadership of the European Commission’s Directorate for Transport and Mobility (DG MOVE) on November 30,” the Ministry of Reconstruction of Ukraine noted. .

At the same time, the Ministry of Reconstruction, together with DG MOVE, is developing strategic solutions that will allow to settle the situation with queues at the border and reduce the tension in the issue of road transport.
