MINSK, 12 November (BelTA) – Chairman of the State Border Committee of Belarus Konstantin Molostov has talked to reporters about the development and improvement of the border service taking into account the evolving situation, BelTA has learned.

Konstantin Molostov said: “The border service never stops getting better. We are seriously developing the system of deployment of forces and assets, reinforcing the most complicated sections of the border, including by means of setting up new units and border guard stations. The state investment program helps with that. At its expense we build new towns around border guard stations, new housing for the military personnel and their families. We are developing the system of engineering structures and barriers, the system for registering the passage of trespassers across the state border, and unmanned aviation.”

In his words, the border service gets new weapons, military hardware, and special hardware all the time. A lot of attention is paid to combat training. The chairman of the State Border Committee of Belarus pointed out that an educational border guard station had been recently commissioned at premises of the Border Service Institute. A center for training unmanned aerial vehicle specialists has been created.

“We pay a lot of attention to young Belarusians, to the development of military and patriotic clubs with a focus on the border service,” Konstantin Molostov stressed.
