Chisinau, 23 March /MOLDPRES/- The Border Police has received six modular containers that will allow the creation of the necessary infrastructure to extend the joint control activity to the Moldovan-Ukrainian border.

The donation includes four dwelling modules, equipped with all necessary for living (beds, tables, kitchen, refrigerator) a bathroom and a technical equipment warehouse. The goods cost 50 thousand dollars.

Border Police Chief Fredolin Lecari said that the donation is very useful in order to ensure working conditions for border police officers trained in joint control and patrol on the central sector of Moldova, Ukraine.

The US Ambassador to Moldova, Dereck J. Hogan, said that this assistance is a very good example of the partnership for securing Moldova's borders and improving the patrol capability at the eastern border.
