MINSK, 12 March (BelTA) – Belarus' customs authorities are going to launch three international technical assistance projects approved by the European Union, BelTA learned from the State Customs Committee.

The first project “Improvement of border management operations at road border crossing points Bruzgi and Berestovitsa” is aimed to improve the security on the Belarusian-Polish border by modernizing local computer networks. The European Union will contribute around €1 million. The project partner is Podlasie Province of Poland.
