About 70 percent of the traffic flow between Ukraine and the Republic of Poland could be handled by the Yahodyn customs office if the reconstruction of the Yahodyn-Dorohusk checkpoint is successfully completed. This was stated today in Lutsk by Vitalii Antoniuk, head of the border control and registration department of the State Border Guard Department, at a conference of the Ukrainian-Polish Parliamentary Group. According to him, the reconstruction of the Yahodyn customs office should be completed by the end of this year. He also spoke in favor of simplifying the crossing of the Ukrainian-Polish border for tourism purposes. Vitalii Antoniuk noted that checkpoints with joint customs control by both sides (such as Ustyluh) are the future. He also spoke in favor of joint control of freight transport on the Ukrainian-Polish border. "I fully support the idea of creating new checkpoints, primarily for residents of border regions who have relatives abroad or some cultural ties," noted Vitalii Antoniuk.
