1 февраля 2021
The President approved the decision to protect the state border of Belarus.

This became known following a meeting at the Palace of Independence. Alexander Lukashenko received head of the State Border Committee Anatoly Lappo. The issue of protecting state borders is annually brought up to the level of the head of state. It requires adjustments since the operational environment is constantly changing. Border security is one of the foundations of state functioning. The past year was in many ways difficult, but the border guards coped with the task.

In general, the border of Belarus is under strict control. Recently, the number of violations has almost halved. The border guards opened 12 drug trafficking channels, identified 45 extremists. The State Border Committee invested forces and funds in the development of infrastructure. This is more than $ 5 million over the past year. Specialists also carried out an audit of the borders: 80 kilometers of the border with Ukraine were marked, over a thousand border signs were installed.
