Disputes delay defining the limits of checkpoint at Big Port St. Pb - Rosgranitsa
Defining the limits of a checkpoint of Big Port St. Petersburg may be delayed, Russian Border Services Agency (Rosgranitsa) said.
The head of the Northwest Territorial Administration of Rosgranitsa Mikhail Smolkin said that the delay is attributed to the disputes of economic entities on the inclusion of their territories in the areas of border crossing point, and in some cases – to the approach of the customs authorities.
In particular, the Customs considers inappropriate the inclusion of "Baltimore" terminal in the boundaries of the checkpoint. There is also a legal conflict with the inauguration of the checkpoint area for small boats at Fort Constantine, which is considered a floating vessel.
The meeting of the interdepartmental commission tasked to set up the boundaries of the Big Port St. Petersburg-based checkpoint is slated for August 15, 2012.
