The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs is completing their work on the agreement on local border traffic (May 2009.) At the final stage of the works, the list of the towns and villages situated within the area covered by the so-called "local traffic" on both the Polish and the Belarusian sides of the border is being verified. The "border belt" area, whose residents will be able to move between the bordering countries under the agreement on local border traffic, shall be 30 km wide on both sides of the border, and wherever that belt crosses the administrative borders, its range shall be extended. If the citizens of both countries are to enjoy those conveniences, the initialled agreement must be confirmed by the European Commission and then it must be ratified by the parliaments of both countries. It seems that the agreement on local border traffic will be implemented in the second half of 2009 and it should result in an increase in the cross-border activity in the Białowieża Forest Euroregion
