The Nyzhankovychi – Malkhovychi automobile checkpoint will be opened on the border with Poland in the next six months. This was announced by the head of the Lviv Regional State Administration Maksym Kozytskyi.

The Podkarpackie Voivodeship sent a similar appeal to the Polish Ministry.

It has also been proposed to carry out control procedures at the Nyzhankovychi – Malkhovychi railway crossing point jointly with the Polish regulatory authorities on the principle of the Smilnytsia crossing point.
