After hearing similar speeches, Povilas Drižas, Secretary General of the International Transport and Logistics Alliance, also spoke about Delfi, but stressed that so far rumors are floating in the air. He said he was also unaware of the details.
“If such a closure occurs, companies will organize work, divert flows to other neighboring countries,” he said, but added that the administrative and financial burden on companies would increase.
The editorial office also contacted Julius Glebov, commercial attaché at the Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania in Belarus.
“We also hear everything at the level of rumors. The official information is not confirmed by the official authorities.
Our colleagues from Latvia and Estonia do not have that information either, so we consider it a rumor until now, “he commented.
When asked to clarify the speeches heard, Glebov said that Belarus would not only not allow Lithuanian tugs, but would also transport their cargo bypassing the Baltic countries.
“At the level of rumors, it is formulated that the incoming cargo would not be accepted simply for registration, and the second thing is that the cargo leaving Belarus will not be formed through the border posts leading to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. In other words, we are talking about incoming and outgoing cargo, ”he said.
