| 28 February 2007 The Belarusian authorities believe that the country's state border with Poland should be re-demarcated within the next few years. "There is a long-felt need to re-demarcate the Polish sector of our border. It will require an agreement with the Polish side and financial resources," Alexander Arkhipov, director of the Belarusian State Border Guard Committee's department for border delimitation and demarcation, told journalists on 28 February 2007. Belarus believes the re-demarcation to begin within the next few years, and the financial assistance would be sought from the EU. Plans to re-demarcate the Belarusian-Polish border will involve drawing up new demarcation maps and compiling protocols and catalogues of boundary sign coordinates. At the present, Belarus and Poland use demarcation documents related to the land section of the border dating back to 1946-47, and documents regulating the border's water section signed in the early 1950s. Belarus is currently replacing frontier markers with the consent of the Polish authorities, Arkhipov said. More than 500 new frontier markers have already been placed, while another 119 have yet to be replaced.
