Special Precautions
According to Border Guard data, in 2023, border guards or organizations detained a total of over 190 people for aiding illegal border crossings. In April, nearly 800 people tried to illegally cross the border into Belarus (2,500 in March, about 6,000 since early 2023).
On the Polish-Belarusian border, construction of the last piece of about 25 km of the electronic barrier, ie a system of cameras and sensors, is still not completed. It complements the 5.5 m high steel dam built last year 186 km from the border. Eventually, the electronic dam will be just over 200 km long. He is currently riding on 181 km, 10 of the 11 sections are ready.
In Podlaskie, all border crossings with Belarus are closed until further notice. Only railway crossings in Kuźnica and Siemianówka are open.
Currently, the rules on the border strip are in effect in this region, and the restrictions are governed by the ordinance of the voivode issued in September 2021 on the prohibition of stay along the entire part of the border strip (15 m wide inland from the border line) to the border with Belarus, ie external border of the EU. The Ordinance of the Voivodeship of February this year on rules of order in the border area adjacent to the state border in the Voivodeship is also in force.
