history

During the existence of the Soviet Union on January 24, 1986, the Polish-Soviet agreement to simplify the border crossing of Sławatycze-Domačzewo began to work. Border protection authorities carried out border and customs clearance. The Sławatycze-Domačzewo border crossing was originally created only for simplified border traffic. Passenger traffic was allowed for citizens with Russian and Belarusian passports. The border protection authorities carried out border and customs clearance.

In 1994, thanks to an agreement between the Government of the Republic of Poland and the Government of the Republic of Belarus, a public border post was established that was open 24 hours a day. From then on, the transport of people was allowed regardless of their nationality, of means of transport and goods. All bus traffic was excluded. As of December 10, 2001, the approval of trucks was extended to 3.5 tonnes total weight, with the exception of goods subject to the TIR procedure and local border traffic. The border crossing is operated by the border guard in Sławatycze . From July 1, 2013, a pilot program was introduced for 6 months for buses and vehicles with a total weight of up to 7.5 tons.

Due to the Ukraine crisis and the sanctions imposed by the EU on the Russian Federation, the Russian Federation imposed an entry ban on EU citizens via Belarus.
