Construction and equipment of the border crossing point "Privalka" located at the border of the Republic of Belarus with the Republic of Lithuania: introduction of a non-intrusive inspection technology (Construction and equipment of the border crossing point „Privalka“)

The increase of cargo and passenger traffic through the strategically located border crossing point Privalka (Belarus-Lithuania) resulted in the growing number of smuggled goods. The border crossing point demonstrates low effectiveness in prevention of goods smuggling due to the outdated and inconvenient illegal traffic detection procedures. Detailed inspection of vehicles is a very lengthy procedure, which may lead to long vehicle queues and impede active transit traffic through the area. The project aims at increasing the capacity of the border crossing point and improvement of cargo traffic security by introducing new technological means of vehicle inspection. Expected Results: The project will result in construction of non-intrusive vehicle inspection infrastructure equipped with the x-ray scanning system as well as a traffic lane to the scanning station. 4 practical trainings will be held in Lithuania and Belarus for the Belarusian and Lithuanian specialists for obtaining relevant experience in operating the scanning equipment. The advantages of the new system will be widely communicated to the cargo transporters through organisation of meetings, mass media, website and press conferences.
