The border policemen are prepared for the inflow of travelers during the winter holidays

The border policemen are preparing for the inflow of travelers in the border crossing points, generated by the upcoming winter holidays.
The most transited borders will be the ones at the border with Hungary and Republic of Moldova, reason for which at the level of the Romanian Border Police were disposed a series of measures meant to ease the traffic and to reduce the waiting time.
In December 2010, 2.6 million person crossings through the border points were recorded.

The upcoming winter holidays brings back in the country many of the Romanian citizens established abroad to spend these days together with their family and relatives, but also foreign citizens wanting to spend their holiday in Romania. Also, many Romanian citizens planned to spend these days abroad.

CAs a result of this fact, in December, in the border crossing points, an increase of the traffic of persons and means of transportation was recorded, so in order to avoid overcrowding, the Romanian Border Police undertook the necessary measures for the transit to be carried out normally.

Precisely, in order to realize an efficient and fluent border control, the management of the Romanian Border Police undertook the following measures:

• supplementing of the personnel checking the documents, respectively the increase of check lanes in the border points, on the entry or exit way in/from the country, if necessary;

• enhancing the co-working and collaboration relations with the other structures of the Ministry of Administration and Interior, with the border authorities of the neighbouring states, as well as with the local public administration.
