About the resulting congestion Delphi the reader reported. In the photos sent to him, it can be seen that there are difficulties when leaving Vilnius: a large queue of cars stretched out at the police station.
The reader said that he has been queuing for half an hour, but his end has yet to be seen. The woman explained that there are so many cars waiting now that it is impossible to see on the road where the column of vehicles begins and ends.

Officials, according to the woman, told her that those lines have been in place since Saturday morning. And some, according to them, wait 4 hours.
