During the transit, both military equipment and personnel will be subject to border and customs control, and if necessary, other types of control in accordance with the laws of Kazakhstan.
The Italian side takes upon itself all the costs associated with the transit of Italy’s military equipment and personnel through the territory of the country.
Kazakhstan has already ratified similar treaties with Great Britain, France and Spain. Kazakhstan will receive $300-400 thousand for the transit of Britain’s military cargo through its territory annually. The figure depends on the frequency of flights, type of cargo and its weight.
