The State Police has drafted a special plan of measures to guarantee public order and safety during the year-end holidays and the first days of the New Year 2026.

"In order to fulfill these important objectives, as well as prevent incidents and criminal events, the General Directorate of the State Police has drafted a special plan of measures, with well-defined tasks for each local and central police structure.

The measures consist of:

-increasing the presence of uniformed police services and Criminal Police in the territory, with the aim of guaranteeing public order and security, as well as preventing possible criminal events;

-management and provision of services at BCPs during the entry/exit of citizens into the country's territory, by increasing counters and human resources at all border crossing points.
