Ukraine intends to develop border infrastructure on the border between Ukraine and the European Union (EU), Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan said at a meeting with Poland's Deputy Infrastructure and Construction Minister Jerzy Szmit.

The ministry's press service reported that the meeting was held in Odesa on September 8.

"We would like jointly with Poland, Romani and Slovakia to address the European Commission with an initiative of joint development of border infrastructure on the border between Ukraine and the EU," Omelyan said.

He added that recently long car and truck queues have been recorded at the checkpoints with Poland.

"This is not evidence of bad work of customs officers and border guard, but this is evidence that our infrastructure is not developed," the minister said.

The sides discussed a wide range of cooperation issues, in particular, in the railway and aviation sectors.

Szmit said that there is broad international support in the implementation of Via Carpathia project to joint north of Europe with south.
