hi gio
not sure exactly what you mean by current border arrangement
but details of the angola congo brazzaville border alignment &
markers documents etc as of 1970 at least are given in
http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/LimitsinSeas/IBS105.pdf
in case that is useful
cabinda is not actually inside either of the congos tho
but is wedged between them both
& thus even shares a tripoint with them

7th item
& we know russia has been seeking special easements for
travel across the new eu to & from kaliningrad
& there have been reports of attempts to streamline the former
otherwise unwieldy arrangements with special paperwork etc
but i believe nothing definite has yet been reported here on this
& nothing at all since the new border regime began last month
