Poland and Lithuania: Borders With Belarus Are Operating Normally

"Cockroach" was again caught making inadequate statements.

Neither Poland nor Lithuania have yet noticed any changes after Lukashenka announced that the borders with these countries are being closed. Border services of neighboring countries inform that the transport passes in the same mode, reports onliner.by.

The Polish-Belarusian border is working as usual, RIA Novosti quotes the representative of the Nadbuzhanski department of the Polish Border Guard. "From our side, at the moment, the passage of citizens and vehicles is carried out in a regular mode. What is there from the Belarusian side - we do not know," the source said.

Lithuanians have not noticed anything unusual either. The work of the border was reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Lithuania in the usual manner. On the air of LRT radio, Minister of the Interior Rita Tamašunienė said that the transport is moving without any delays.

"Such statements have already been made before that - that the tractors will be sent to other ports, then it was clarified that it would be if Russia offered the same conditions, etc. I think, now we need to wait, see whether closing the borders means for goods, people, or something else," Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Linas Linkevičius, said on Friday morning on the air of the radio station.

In turn, this morning, the head of the Lithuanian State Border Guard Service, Rustam Lyubaev, said that the traffic on the Belarusian-Lithuanian border is still going on in the same mode, writes Delfi. "Nothing concrete is known yet - it would be difficult to assume that some official message will come from Belarus overnight, but the situation at the border has not changed overnight: traffic has not been stopped," he said.
