History

March 27, 1934 Krakovets received the status of the city. As a result of the Soviet authorities crossing the border through Krakivets city population was evicted.

The opening of a new border crossing point was for the first time envisaged by the Agreement between the Government of Ukraine and the Government of the Republic of Poland on border crossing points of 18 May 1992.[3]

From 1992 to 1996, the construction and practical opening of a new entry point on the western border of Ukraine was constantly hampered for various reasons.

Stepan Lukashik managed to convince the President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma of the vital need for the construction of the facility, for the first time since 1996, "the wire curtain was cut" and the construction was completed, which was completed in record terms until the winter of 1997.

The opening of the new checkpoint was held on January 3, 1998, with the participation of Leonid Kuchma, Alexander Kwasniewski, Stepan Lukashik and Mitsislav Kaspshak.

Events of Euromaidan touched the checkpoint as the Ukrainian activists blocked it on February 19, 2014.[4]
