That was possible 3 years ago before covid. No one knows how it is now after such a long break.

You didn't quote all of it Koen : "Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov said in November -- without providing many details -- that he expects all border delimitations with Tajikistan to be completed by May. Although many think it unlikely the May deadline will be met, both Kyrgyz and Tajik officials have ...
