The joint patrols of the border police of Romania and servicemen from the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine will guard the section of the state border within Chernivtsi region.

According to the press service of the State Border Service of Ukraine, such an initiative was introduced in the framework of the agreement between the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the government of Romania on joint patrolling the Ukrainian-Romanian state border.

The joint protection of the state border is one of the modern methods in the EU system of border management envisaged by the Schengen Borders Code and other documents.

Joint patrolling will allow more effectively counteracting organized criminal activity, promptly responding to attempts by violators to illegally cross the border and smuggle goods. In addition, it will save personnel, transportation, technical, fuel resources, etc.
