«The third area of our work is the launch of joint customs and border control on the borders with the EU. We expect a pilot project to be launched this year on the Ukrainian-Polish border», said Denys Shmyhal.

He also noted that the relevant agreement with the European Commission is currently being negotiated. It is expected that joint border control will significantly save time for people and businesses, bringing Ukraine even closer to the European Union.
