The testing of a pilot project on the application of an integrated control model at Lavoriskes is underway at the checkpoint in the district of Vilnius, the Lithuanian Customs Department said.
The one-year project is planned to be launched on September 1. It calls for distributing functions between services so that customs officials serve all freight transport lanes and officials from the State Border Protection Service handle all passenger car lanes.
Officials from Estonia's Narva border checkpoint are also taking part in the testing.
