The State Border Committee of Belarus believes the border with Ukraine is the main way of smuggling. "The spring thaw has brought some calm spell to the most troubled area in terms of illegal border crossing — the Ukrainian border. However, increase in attempts to import goods without customs declaration was marked last weekend — 14 cases in total. What is more, every second arrest took place in Brest voblast," SBC noted.

«Malorita» became the most troubled site of border commandant’s offices in the past weekend.

In total, the Belarusian border guards detained smuggled goods (shoes, clothes, alcohol liquids, household chemicals) worth over Br170 million ($55 thousand) during the period from March 31 to April 3.
