On August 21, the EU-funded Border Management Programme in Central Asia (BOMCA 10) officially handed over two quadcopters to the Border Service of the National Security Committee of Kazakhstan. The total value of the transferred equipment amounted to 59,950.00 EUR.

This equipment will allow better exercise control over the green border on the Kazakh-Kyrgyz border and will strengthen the capacities of the border service in the prevention of cross-border crimes, such as smuggling of drugs and prevention of illegal crossings.

The assets were provided in the framework of BOMCA 10 Component 2, “Improvement of Detection Capacities”, which aimed to support law enforcement agencies in evidence-based investigations, specifically dealing with detection and investigation of cross-border crime.
