An agreement on establishing the location of the border between the subjects of the Russian Federation - the Republic of Tatarstan and the Republic of Bashkortostan was signed today in the Kazan Kremlin. The document was signed by President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov and Head of Bashkortostan Radiy Khabirov.
Earlier, the Ministry of Land and Property of the Republic of Tatarstan was entrusted with carrying out work to determine the border of the republic, including the study of cartographic and cadastral materials, clarification of the border, organization of working meetings and negotiations with representatives of neighboring regions to resolve disputes that arose during the definition of the border.
The Republic borders on 8 subjects of the Russian Federation. The total length of the border of Tatarstan is 3,403 kilometers. During the work, 573 problem areas were initially identified. To date, most of the issues have already been removed.
The specified length of the border with the Republic of Bashkortostan is 498 kilometers. Based on the results of the collection and analysis of the original cartographic and cadastral materials, 66 problematic sections of the border were identified. All design work was carried out jointly with the Spatial Data Foundation of the Republic of Tatarstan.
Having completed all the necessary work, the Agreement on the establishment of the border was prepared. After the document is signed by the heads of both entities, the Agreement will be sent to the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan for approval.
