“Until now we are verifying that information, we still call it ‘duck’ – at all ends, we are sending such information by SMS, but until now we do not have any official information that the border is closed. We also call our colleagues in Belarus, but so far we have not been able to call, ”said Romas Austinskas, president of the Linava Association.
