In his address, Customs Director General, Vitalie Vrabie mentioned the effectiveness of such meetings, as those allow the parties to agree on the most viable forms of interaction. "Efficient border management, by ensuring simultaneous securitization and providing the security and fluidity of the traffic is a common responsibility.

According to Vitalie Vrabie, impracticable roads cause drivers to avoid some crossing points and opt for others, which are consequently overburdened.
