BorPres2 (Prespa Lake Area Border Guard Station: Establishment of the Border Crossing Point between Greece and the Republic of North Macedonia at the Prespa Lake Area) is a cross-border infrastructure project co-financed by the European Union and officially launched on 14 February 2025. The project aims to strengthen cross-border connectivity and foster economic growth in the Prespa region by establishing a new border crossing between Lemos (Greece) and Markova Noga (North Macedonia).

Coordinated by the Region of Western Macedonia, in collaboration with national and local authorities from both countries, BorPres2 focuses on enhancing regional mobility, reducing travel times, and promoting eco-tourism.

Implemented under the Interreg IPA Cross-Border Cooperation Programme Greece–North Macedonia 2021–2027, the project is scheduled for completion by 13 February 2028. Key actions include the construction of a new customs and police control facility in Greece, and the renovation of the existing police station in North Macedonia.

By improving connectivity, BorPres2 is expected to facilitate economic and cultural exchange, and significantly boost tourism in the Prespa region.
