Ukraine and Poland to increase the capacity of the Krakovets-Korczowa checkpoint
Ukraine and Poland have agreed to enhance capacity at the Krakovets-Korczowa checkpoint by at least 50 percent in the coming weeks as part of the Open Border project, including increasing the number of truck lanes and creating additional pavilions for customs and passport control. Relevant agreements were reached within intergovernmental consultations held at the Krakovets-Korczowa checkpoint.
"We are launching the Open Border, designed to address border capacity issues. Our priorities are the reconstruction of existing and construction of new checkpoints and the introduction of joint control. We expect the increase in the Krakovets-Korczowa checkpoint will unload other checkpoints on the Polish-Ukrainian border," Olexandr Kubrakov, Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister, said.
“This pilot project is an unprecedented success of our cooperation, capable of paving the way for future projects. We are grateful to our Polish colleagues, especially to the head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland, Michał Dworczyk, and the Minister of Infrastructure, Andrzej Adamczyk, for the collaboration and readiness to take the most urgent measures necessary to stabilize logistics between Ukraine and Europe,” Olexandr Kubrakov added.
