In the context of nationwide measures being carried out within the framework of the Year of the Republic of Poland in Ukraine, a consultation point "Dorohusk-Yahodyn" has been opened on the Ukrainian-Polish border. This was reported by the press service of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.\n\nThe creation of consultation points is a fundamentally new step in the development of the state border protection system, bringing it to the level of world standards. The current stage of activity of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine within the structure of law enforcement agencies is characterized by a final departure from the linear construction of border protection service; fundamental improvement of border management technology; development of permanent contacts with border agencies of European Union countries on issues of exchanging experience in protecting external borders, improving the quality of training and professional development of personnel, creating a multi-level border protection model, reports "UNIAN".\n\n"The functioning of consultation points for Ukrainian border guards is a new matter. We already have European experience that realistically proves their effectiveness in mutual exchange of information and increasing the operational component in the service," emphasized, commenting on this event, First Deputy Head of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine Colonel-General Pavlo Shysholin.\n\nAccording to him, during preparations for the functioning of consultation points in September of the current year, under the program of the European Institute for Democracy Promotion in Warsaw with active support of the Council of the European Union, joint ten-day training sessions were held for representatives of the border agencies of Ukraine and Poland, familiarizing them with the work of similar consultation points on the Polish-German border
