Seniors will assess the situation at the stalls and when they see that there is a queue and people have to wait more than 30 minutes, the inspection will be done faster. Maybe some percentage of cars that don’t really arouse suspicion will be lost, ”said Paulauskas.

The Deputy Commissioner General of Police A. Paulauskas emphasized that he sees the greatest risk due to the number of people who flow from the main cities of the country on weekends, who are also trying to reach the spas.
According to him, people who have “slipped” in some way and entered a resort or other municipality still cannot be guaranteed that they will not receive a fine. Police officers can also write reports after inspecting pedestrians.
“Once again, our officials in tourist cities often see places of interest when people come, introduce themselves and ask to justify why they are here, what they come from, which municipality and assess whether they are here legally.
Responsibility for travel between municipalities is provided. It is not necessary to detain a person somewhere on that border or municipal boundary. If a person is detained in another municipality, it is identified that he entered the municipality illegally a few days ago or the same day, which is treated exactly as the same violation, “said the police representative.
