Ukraine’s Chief Military Prosecutor Anatoliy Matios has said that a 150-kilometer section of Ukraine’s state border with Hungary is private and that border guards do not have full access to this territory.
“I once again came across the documents indicating that 150 kilometers of our border with Hungary in Zakarpattia region are private… In fact, 150 kilometers are two-hectare land plots allocated by the village council to local residents. After that, they were accumulated in separate hands,” he said live on the 112 Ukraine television channel on Oct. 13.
Matios said that in the current situation “a baron, as the Gypsies say, or a headman of territory, as someone says, directs the center of these people.”
According to the chief military prosecutor, this has been going on for ten years.
He also said that border patrols of the State Border Service could not get there, because from the towers of a “private” border they could be blinded or even shot at from registered weapons.
Matios said he intended soon to report on this situation on the border with Hungary to Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko.
