The Customs Service mentions in a press release that the inauguration of the new crossing point and the opening of traffic are delayed at the request of the Ukrainian side.

The Palanca crossing point was closed on November 5. The measures were taken in connection with construction works.

The new point will be connected to the Odessa - Reni road through a new access road under construction. The budget of the project amounts to 6.18 million euros, of which 4.5 million are granted by the EU, and 1.68 million euros - by the Government of Moldova. The project is implemented by UNDP Moldova.
