Romas Austinskas, president of the Linava National Road Carriers Association, told Eltai earlier that the increase in queues at the Medininkai border checkpoint was due to the reduction in the number of Belarusian customs officials due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We have received information from Belarus that Belarus has closed 9 posts with Poland and Ukraine due to COVID-19 … We know that the number of Belarusian customs officers working has decreased. Apparently, Belarusian customs have sick people in the system, perhaps not ensuring the number of workers. As a result, no traffic flow queues are formed and its performance is reduced, “said Eltai.

Mr Austinsk claimed that the increase in queues was related to the spread of the coronavirus in Belarus, adding that “there is nothing political in this case.”
