Lithuanian Truckers Have Not Received Permission To Leave Belarus

The flow to Lithuania has not resumed.

Freight traffic from Belarus to Lithuania has not yet resumed, despite the official opening of the Lithuanian border. This is reported by the telegram channel of the Belarusian news transport and logistics portal, referring to the data of the Association of Intermodal Transportation and Logistics (AIPL).

Lithuanian truckers report that they have not received permission to leave the parking lots. At the Kamenny Log - Miadininkai border checkpoint, there is no flow of trucks traveling from Belarus to Lithuania.

The traffic in the opposite direction continues: a queue of trucks heading to Belarus has formed on the Lithuanian side in Miadininkai.

It was also reported earlier that not a single truck with Lithuanian license plates has never crossed the border. "Nothing changes, and it's not clear why they don't pass there. The point is working, the throughput is there. Cars go, trucks go with license plates of other countries - mostly, of course, from Russia, where drivers have simplified documents. The work of the points is absolutely normal, and they could pass other vehicles, especially more trucks, but Lithuanian ones are not coming," said a representative of the State Border Guard Service of Lithuania Giedrius Mishuchis to the agency BNS.

Reminder, a month ago, October 29, Lithuania closed the border with Belarus in connection with the increasing incidents of arrival of weather probes with contraband, which threatened the work of airports. After that, Belarus actually banned the exit of Lithuanian trucks - allowing it only through the Lithuanian border crossings, which were closed.

November 20, the work of the two closed border crossings was resumed. However, the Lithuanian trucks, stuck in Belarus, still can't return home. They were forcibly sent to paid parking lots.

The association of Lithuanian trucking companies Linava calls the situation a racketeering.
