About integrated border management in Ukraine

Integrated border management (IBM) in Ukraine is a coordinated activity of the competent state bodies and military formations, aimed at creating and maintaining a balance between ensuring the appropriate level of border security and keeping the state border open for legal cross-border cooperation and travelling.

They interact at the intra-service, inter-agency, state and international levels to achieve the goals of state policy in the field of IBM.

To develop the IBM system and approximate Ukraine’s border management process to European standards and best practices, the EU is providing support to Ukraine in identifying and filling the gaps in national reforms implementation, in reengineering of business processes and improving HR management system, providing analytical information and tools, improving the border control procedures and developing the models of checkpoint concepts, improving of inter-agency coordination and information exchange at the national level and with neighbouring countries.
