The border can be crossed by a ticket to a sporting event, and customs clearance can be done through a special corridor.
This year, the National Airport "Minsk" is preparing to take a record number of passengers, in its entire history - 5 million people. Traditionally, the peak of the main air harbor work is summer. In addition to holidaymakers, participants and fans of the 2nd European Games started arriving in the capital. The increase in passenger traffic should not affect the quality and time of registration at the border.
New equipment for inspection, which recently entered into the disposal of customs, is already ready to work - the inspection is able to recognize weapons, drugs or explosives. 3D scanners, including mobile ones, work at border checkpoints.
Andrei Bolshakov, Head of the Main Directorate for the Organization of Customs Control of the State Customs Committee of Belarus: "If you use inspection complexes, the time for customs inspection may be about 10 minutes. If you conduct a physical inspection, such time may take hours."
Fans will follow a separate corridor, which will not create queues for the main stream. And customs operations for arriving delegations and participants will be performed as a matter of priority.
Customs promises that there will be no language barrier at the border, since 80% of employees are fluent in foreign languages. A call center operates at the time of the Second European Games in Belarus.
The expected number of guests at the time of the games is 30 thousand tourists and about 10 thousand participants. The main sporting events of the country will be held on June 21 - 30.
