Ukraine and Moldova should complete the demarcation of the border as quickly as possible, including the Transdniester area, the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said.
“Special attention was paid to the development of border transportation infrastructure, completion of the demarcation of the Ukrainian-Moldovan border, including the Transdniester area,” Poroshenko said at a joint briefing with Prime Minister of Moldova Pavel Filip in Kyiv on Feb. 13.
“In 2009, as Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, I initiated this process. And we underline the need for completing this process as soon as possible,” Poroshenko said at the joint press conference with Prime Minister of Moldova Pavel Filip.
He said he agreed on the steps that will ensure joint control on the Ukraine-Moldova border-crossing points aimed “to simplify the procedure of crossing the border for Ukrainian and Moldovan citizens.”
This concerns Palanca-Mayaky-Udobne border crossing point and the introduction of a “revolutionary joint control” in Kuchurhan, Poroshenko said.
Poroshenko said that the Ecology Ministers of both countries asked the European Commission to ensure the transparency of the process and provide financial assistance.
