A resident of Pastavy won the republican competition for the title of "Best Controller"

First category controller of the "Moldzevichi" border control department, Ilona Bartashevich, took first place in the republican competition for the title of "Best Controller". Border service is not easy. Women, like male military personnel, pass standards and go on night duty. And only first category controllers, after passing the relevant exam, get the right to work with passports. — Only a few minutes are allocated for document verification, and during this time, it is necessary to ensure that the document is genuine, that it has no erasures or corrections, and that the photograph has not been replaced, — says Ilona.

— In order to check the professional training of controllers and their readiness to perform their official duties, the competition for the title of "Best Controller" is held annually among border control units, — said the head of the "Moldzevichi" border control department, V. Yu. Dudchenko. — Warrant Officer Bartashevich coped with the tasks better than others from our department, confirmed her knowledge at the competition among controllers of the Smorgon border detachment, and achieved success at the republican stage.

We are proud that the best controller in the country serves at our checkpoint.

The controller at the checkpoint is a computer operator, a psychologist, and a graphologist all in one. It is the controllers who are the first to meet everyone entering our country and identify violators of the passport and visa regime.
