The Ministry announced that it is extending the electronic queue service for crossing the border by bus to all checkpoints with the EU and Moldova "to verify the implementation of international routes." In total, it is said to be 29 checkpoints.
"We are scaling up eCheckpoint to all checkpoints to verify the implementation of bus routes and analyze the load on the border. After that, based on the current network of routes, we will offer each bus a time slot for crossing the border - a corresponding slot. As a result, we should get a queue-free border and travel according to the schedule," Kubrakov said.
Reportedly, starting February 12 at 12 noon, all buses will be able to cross the border by appointment in the eChechera system. Currently, it is only a matter of registering in the system to cross the border on a "register and go" basis. According to this rule, eCheck in for buses has been operating at 8 checkpoints since August last year.
Starting Monday, 21 more checkpoints will be added to this list.
Addendum
According to the Ministry, more than 40,000 buses and 725,000 trucks have crossed the border electronically since the launch of eCheck.
