Four Georgians were apprehended by the border guards of State Border Service in Transcarpathia. The men of the age from 23 to 31 intended to get to Slovakia avoiding the meeting with the law enforcement agents. The trespassers were stopped 600 m before the state border by the border guards of BS “Guta”. They did not have any documents, however they introduced as the citizens of Georgia. In the course of the interview the border guards established that “travelers” made their way to neighboring country to be employed. The route was laid with the help of the Internet via mobile phone. The men took taxi getting to the suburb of Uzhgorod in order not to be caught. Paying the taxi driver they continued their way on foot, but the meeting with the border guards happened.
