The Programme supports infrastructural development of the road border crossing Polowce - Peschatka. Currently only citizens of Poland and Belarus may cross the border this way and only in passenger cars. In two years time it is planned to open an international border crossing available also for trucks and buses regardless of citizenship. The new crossing is partly financed by the Programme with the grant of 4 856 044,67 euro. On 21 February the construction site was visited by the Project Steering Group including Maciej Żywno - the Podlaski Voivode, Irina Bolotina - the Head of International Technical Assistance Programs Monitoring Division from the Minsk Central Custom House, Leszek Czech - Commander of the Podlaskie Division of Border Guards and Mirosław Sienkiewicz - Director of the Bialystok Custom House. They could already see 12 buildings financed by the Programme including the main building, buildings for detailed inspection, pavilions for passenger car clearance, a guard's pavilion and shelters.  

The aim of the project (ref. number PBU/0170/10)  was to create a cross-border network of 13 Tourist Information Centres (TIC) in the Polish-Belarus borderland by modernizing 5 existing TICs and establishing 8 new ones - including water TI point on the Lake Wigry/Czarna Hańcza river. The project envisaged also sharing of experience and exchange of best practices among the people working in the tourism sector in Suwalki and Hrodna.
