The authorities are negotiating to allow representatives of the Ukrainian border guard service to cross the border with Moldova to carry out joint checks, Interior Minister Daniela Misail-Nikitin said on Tuesday during a broadcast on Moldova 1.
“One of the measures taken is the withdrawal of border police and customs service officers from joint checkpoints located on Ukrainian territory,” said Daniela Misail-Nikitin.
According to her, this measure has so far been implemented at four border crossing points.
“We are in talks with the Ukrainian side to allow representatives of the Ukrainian border service to enter the territory of the Republic of Moldova to carry out joint controls,” said the minister.
“These will be the minimum necessary measures to reduce the risks associated with the war in Ukraine and the attacks taking place in the immediate vicinity of Moldova’s state border,” explained Daniela Misail-Nikitin.
When asked whether joint checkpoints would be established on the territory of the Republic of Moldova, how many there would be and at what stage the discussions were, the minister replied: “At present, we are talking about two border crossing points. At least, these are the agreements that have been reached, including with the Ukrainian side. Of course, in the future, in the medium term, other crossing points will also be considered, depending on the level of risk of incidents.”
