In the last 24 hours, border crossing points in the Republic of Moldova experienced a significant flow of people, totaling 36,497 crossings. As the country continues to manage its border traffic, the Police of the Republic of Moldova reported that the busiest points were Chisinau International Airport, Leuseni, Sculeni, Palanca, and Otaci.
According to the official statement from the Police of the Republic of Moldova, the most traversed crossing points included Chisinau International Airport with 13,894 crossings, followed by Leuseni with 4,235, Sculeni with 4,223, Palanca with 2,793, and Otaci with 1,641 crossings.

To facilitate smoother travel and reduce congestion, the Police of the Republic of Moldova have issued recommendations for alternative crossing points. For those traveling through the Leuseni-Albita border, they suggest using the Leova-Bumbata crossing from 08:00 to 20:00 or the Cahul-Oancea crossing. Similarly, travelers at Sculeni-Sculeni are encouraged to consider the Costești-Stânca or Lipcani-Rădăuți Prut crossings as alternatives.
For the Palanca-Maiaki-Udobnoe crossing, the authorities recommend the Tudora-Starokazacie crossing as an alternative option. These recommendations aim to alleviate potential congestion, especially during peak travel times.
The Police also emphasized the importance of adhering to the rules and regulations governing entry and exit from the Republic of Moldova. Although there were no recorded violations concerning compliance with stay and entry rules, the authorities remain proactive in monitoring and enforcing border regulations.
