At a joint press conference with the Baltic foreign ministers on Tuesday, Czaputowicz said the so-called “Baltic bubble”, which had previously decided not to impose travel restrictions on each other’s citizens, was “inspired by Poland”, but there were still many problems with outbreaks of migration-related coronaviruses, such as coal mines.
“This is an agreement between the threat to health and the need to develop the economy and tourism. So we have to properly evaluate it. The Minister of Health must make decisions about the phase of lifting travel-related restrictions,” said J Czaputovičius.
He stressed that while countries were “on the right track” in managing the coronavirus, concrete decisions would depend on the recommendations of national experts.
“Given that we are on the right track, I hope that the restrictions will be lifted in the coming weeks and that vacation travel will be possible,” added the minister.
He emphasized that there was also a debate at European Union level on a common policy for travel throughout the Community.
“Perhaps this bubble is a bubble for the European Union, I hope,” he said.
Until June 12, Poland has expanded control of the European Union’s internal borders with Lithuania, Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Currently, Lithuanian citizens can travel to Poland for work, business or study, as well as to transit through this country. Lithuania and other Baltic states do not apply self-isolation to those coming from Poland.
