Border guards in Pinsk refuse to take 120 bribes

120 bribe attempts rejected by border guards in Pinsk were reported in the first six months of this year, an increase from 48 cases in 2008.
All the bribers were subjected to administrative punishment.

Stringent procedures have been introduced at border crossing points in Belarus. For instance, money should not be "left" in the crossing documents or passports. Officials are also not allowed to hold valuables in their hands. Besides, it is forbidden to talk on mobile phones.
