Pending Euro: Ukrainians are criticized for expensive hotels, and Poland – for English

Five-year plan of the Ukraine preparing for the football championship Euro-2012 is approaching its finish line. Now Poland and Ukraine are implementing the project, which will facilitate the passage of border control. «Our two countries are building rail and air links, – said Minister of Sports and Tourism of Poland John Mucha. – As for the road boundaries, our experts will work together on a single point of entry. This will allow tourists to avoid jams at the border.

Unfortunately, Ukraine is clearly lagging behind Poland in terms of the introduction of a single ticket. For example, a tourist can book tickets over the Internet with a route from one point to another by train, and then by plane to another country or city. The Organizing Committee of Poland said that they have already a complex ticket system for several types of transport with a complex route. The Ukrainian authorities inform that they do not have time to introduce such system to Euro. Unfortunately, they do not have time for repairing all roads for the tournament. Продолжение статьи

Euro 2012: Foreigners will be checked on their way and football stars will be met at the ramp

During Euro 2012 international visitors will be able to pass the border crossing points in just 20 seconds (previously it took 20 minutes for one person). That’s how long it will take the workers of the Border Service to identify a person. By estimates of the State Border Service, the number of tourists will increase by 2-3 times.

 The border guards say they have developed a system that allows obtaining all necessary information about the alien before one arrives. «For example, a Polander has checked in at the airport and boarded the plane. While one is flying, his data are sent to Ukrainian border guards at airports, where they are processed and the potential violators determined. The employees have  only to personally identify a visitor. This will require maximum 20 seconds – said the first deputy head of the State Border Service Pavel Shisholin. – A passenger who is denied an entry to the Ukraine, will be met at the ramp and returned to their homeland.»  We decided to implement such a system for tourists who are traveling by train and car.
