Today, Ukraine and Romania are building an extremely beneficial partnership, and we aim to constantly deepen it. We are adopting a resolution that will allow us to open a new Ukrainian-Romanian border crossing point Bila Tserkva – Sighetu Marmatiei,” he said.
In general, according to the Prime Minister, it is planned to create 9 new border crossing points in the western direction and modernize 13 more.
All of this will provide greater opportunities for Ukrainian exports and accelerate our sectoral integration into the European Union,” Shmyhal added.
Romanian farmers block checkpoints on the border with Ukraine
As a reminder, the blocking of traffic for trucks in Romania on the border with Ukraine also continues at two more checkpoints – Siret-Porubne and Vicovu de Sus-Krasnoilsk.
On January 15, the Romanian Ministry of Agriculture and the farmers reached an agreement that met several of the protesters’ demands, but the protests continue.
At the same time, all the directions that were blocked have been unblocked on the border with Poland.
On December 6, the Shehyni crossing point was unblocked, and the other three directions have recently been unblocked: Rava-Ruska, Krakivets, and Yahodyn.
