The e-Borders Initiative! |
|
|
To help improve security at the UK borders, the UK Home Office has implemented "e-Borders" programme. The function of e-Borders will be to collect specific data of every person that crosses our border controls. Balkan Holidays are legally required to collect and pass this specific data to the UK Border Agency. For more information please visit E-borders web site. Please supply this information for all passengers listed below, including children and infants, from the travel documents that will be used for this journey. If this information is incomplete, inaccurate or does not match the document presented on the day of travel, you will not be allowed to board your flight!
