Poland and Ukraine negotiate expanded joint border controls
Poland and Ukraine are negotiating an agreement to expand joint border and customs controls. The proposed document aims to increase the number of points where border guards and customs officers from both nations conduct inspections in a single location.
Currently, five joint control points are operational on the border. The new agreement would provide the legal framework for Ukrainian officials to perform specific duties on Polish territory. While the expansion is intended to streamline the transport of goods and people by reducing queues, the details regarding the specific powers of the officials and oversight procedures remain undisclosed.
European Parliament member Ewa Zajączkowska-Hernik has expressed opposition to the plan, citing concerns over national sovereignty, potential corruption, and the risk of Russian infiltration.
