The border police said on Friday that control arteries have been supplemented depending on the configuration of each checkpoint and the amount of traffic, the personnel scheduled to control documents, and the control equipment used, including mobile stations. Thus, about 3.9 thousand border guards are deployed at the state border every day.

Also, for the prompt execution of border formalities, mobile groups of the central structure will go to the main checkpoints to provide support to colleagues on the ground.

According to the cited source, the first aid stations installed at PTF Nădlac II and PTF Giurgiu by local authorities continue to operate on weekends.

Given that, according to estimates, the most transit checkpoints will be the checkpoints on the border with Hungary and Bulgaria, and the highest traffic figures are recorded at the Borş and Nădlac II checkpoints, in Giurgiu and Vama Veche, respectively, the Frontier Police recommends using all border checkpoints points open for international traffic on the western and southern borders.
