MOLDOVA TO BUILD NEW-TYPE BORDER STATIONS
03.07.2008
Chisinau. At its ordinary meeting held on Wednesday, the Moldovan Government approved the Plan of border infrastructure development for 2009-2011, according to which the Republic of Moldova will be building totally new-type border posts, Director General of the Moldova Border Service Igor Kolenov told journalists after the Cabinet meeting.
He said regular service at the stations will be organized according to European standards – on the basis of contracts to be concluded personally with each officer. For contractniks coming to their service places 30-40 kilometers off their homes and staying on duty for 24 hours and more, special rest rooms will be arranged. Military service at such stations will be organized on the shift/duty basis, Kolenov said.
The first station of such type was commissioned in northern Moldova in 2007. By the end of 2008, another three such facilities will be built: two by using the Border Service’s own means (which appears to be substantially cheaper) and one station will be built by a private company. Subsequently, tenders will be announced for the right to construct 6 more new-type border stations that will be provided with all service and living conditions.
Igor Kolenov said the Plan envisages also the capital reconstruction and re-equipment of move than 60 old stations. On the whole, the State Budget will provide 25.5 million lei for border infrastructure development next 3 years. From this sum, 3 million will be taken annually for the building or buying of homes for Border Service officers.
