June 11, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Poland plans to ban civilians from visiting areas close to the shared border with Belarus for 90 days starting June 13, the country\u2019s interior ministry has announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The area will include a 60.67-kilometer section guarded by Narewka, Bia\u0142owie\u017ca, Dubicze Cerkiewne and Czeremcha outposts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some sections the area is 200 meters wide, while in the Bia\u0142owie\u017ca Forest it extends up to two kilometers, the ministry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Villages and tourist routes would be exempt to avoid inconveniences for residents, tourists and businesses, it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restricted access to the border area would help combat smuggling, ensure public safety and protect police officers, border guards and military personnel, the ministry noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past few weeks, Polish soldiers have been attacked 50 times at the eastern border, President Andrzej Duda told the National Security Council meeting yesterday.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polish soldier Mateusz Sitek died on June 6 after being stabbed on duty while protecting the border from foreigners who tried to cross it illegally from Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
