Rokas Pukinskas, a representative of the Service, informed BNS that 450-500 trucks were waiting to enter Lithuania at the Medininkai point 14 hours ago, about 300 near Lavoriškės, about 350 near Šalčininkai and about 250 near Raigardas.
At that time, about 80 trucks were waiting to enter Belarus at the Lavoriškės point, about 75 from Medininkai, about 50 from Šalčininkai and about 40 from Raigardas.
“Work queues (from Lithuania to Belarus – BNS), maybe even a little smaller than usual. There were more in the morning,” R. Pukinskas told BNS.
Romas Austinskas, president of the National Association of Road Carriers “Linava”, told BNS earlier this week that crossing the border with Belarus is difficult: the country’s customs controls incoming trucks “very carefully”, sometimes even with physical transfers.
The Foreign Ministry strongly recommended on Monday not to go to Belarus and that Lithuanians from there leave the country.
This is the response to the incident last Sunday, when Belarus forcibly landed an airliner flying to Vilnius in Vilnius, carrying a journalist and opposition activist Raman Pratasevic.
