4 million people have crossed the state border since the 5^th of June (that is for 11% more than during the same period last year) and nearly 860,000 vehicles crossed the borderline

 

Since the Euro-2012 beginning the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine provided border crossing operations with a high level organization. Effective cooperation was organized with all the law-enforcement agencies of Ukraine, adjacent countries, especially with polish borderguards, and FRONTEX Agency that is responsible for the EU external borders.

4 million people have crossed the state border since the 5^th of June (that is for 11% more than during the same period last year) and nearly 860,000 vehicles crossed the borderline (an increase by 12%). Only during the 18^th of June nearly 300,000 people and 60,000 vehicles (the highest index was upon record on the 17^th of June, when 330,000 persons crossed the border).

1200 organized fan groups crossed the state border during Euro-2012, borderguards have registered nearly 800 aircraft, 520 buses and 150 trains, by which the European Football Championship participants and guests were going.

Every day among the Championship guests are registered those who wouldn’t be allowed to enter our country in another period (for now Euro-2012 helps them) as they often do not have proper documents for border crossing. The only proper documents they have about them are football tickets. That is why the borderguards promptly make decisions concerning the admission of  such category of citizens, but over the past two days following decisions were taken only about 70 fans.
