For the implementation of a comprehensive program for managing the state border for 2022-2025 will be required more than 790 million lei.
The document, approved by the government at a meeting on Wednesday, establishes medium-term tasks through which effective, efficient and coordinated management of the state border of Moldova will be ensured. The implementation of the program will help improve national and regional security, create a balance between ensuring a high level of security and unhindered cross-border traffic, and reduce cases of smuggling and other illegal phenomena on the state border. It will also increase the institutional capacity of all competent state institutions in identifying and assessing risks, and improve the quality and efficiency of services provided to citizens. Within the framework of the program, it is planned to increase the efficiency of interagency cooperation, ensure the exchange of information with the competent authorities of neighboring countries, optimize checkpoints across the state border, create a unit for special interaction at the state border, etc. As expected, the proposed measures will contribute to the recognition of Moldova as a country with a high level of border security, including the guarantor of security in the region - and this is an important step that will contribute to the country's accession to the European Union. The budget for the implementation of all measures included in the program is estimated at 791.6 million lei, which will be covered from the budget of the General Inspectorate of the Border Police, the Customs Service and external sources. // 16.11.2022 – InfoMarket
