Petro Poroshenko announced this during the conference, his official website reports.
“Preliminary estimates indicate that there could be 15-20% growth. We need to be prepared for this. I received information from Moldova and Georgia... in them the increase was 30-40% for certain dates,” he said.
He also added that in 4 years the number of border crossings has increased from 25 million to 37 million.
“That is, we will absolutely realistically reach 45-50 million intersections,” Poroshenko added.
