Fostering Integrated Border Management in Ukraine
Kyiv – With seven neighbours, over 150 international and inter-state border crossing points, Ukraine has one of the longest and busiest frontiers in Europe.
Almost 100 million people and over 20 million vehicles crossed Ukraine’s borders last year – respectively a nine per cent and a two per cent increase on 2016.
IOM, the UN Migration Agency has just signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation with the State Fiscal Service (SFS) of Ukraine which sets out to help Ukraine ensure the right balance between open and controlled borders.
