We have been cooperating with the Ukrainian side for years, for example by responding to various large-scale incidents in this particular border area, such as accidents involving Ukrainian coaches.

The project was set up precisely to prepare Polish and Ukrainian emergency services to provide professional mutual support. This is intended to strengthen and develop our mountain rescue and medical teams in the border area, emphasises Rafa\u0142 Kijanka, director of the Provincial Ambulance Station in Przemy\u015bl.<\/p>\n
