This act concludes the process of updating the border documents for all 27 border sectors that started in 2010 with the update of border documents for border sectors VIII to XV and XXII to XXVII and proceeded in 2016 with new border documents for sectors XVI to XXI.

Thus, the border documentation for these sectors has been updated, as the annexes of the applicable 1965 treaty were outdated (i.e. description of the border, list of coordinates, and border plan for these sectors). The state border remains unchanged.
