The European Union has earmarked funding within the Eastern Partnership program for the demarcation of the Belarus-Ukraine border, Belarusian Foreign Minister Uladzimir Makei said Tuesday when speaking at the conference "Eastern Partnership at 10: results and ways forward" in Minsk.

"We are putting into order the border with our southern neighbor Ukraine. The EU has allocated funds for the demarcation of the border both to Belarus and Ukraine," Mr Makei noted. 

Uladzimir Makei also cited several other projects where the EaP was one of the sponsors: digitalization projects and development of pan-European transport corridors. 

"Belarus' participation in the Eastern Partnership (EaP) initiative brings tangible benefits, but Belarus would like this initiative to generate more results," Foreign Minister stressed.
