«Your appeals addressed to the president of our country regarding ways out of the situation with Lithuanian-registered trucks have been received. As you are well aware, four months ago, the Lithuanian leadership, in violation of all international norms, closed the borders with our country. One of the consequences of this step was the impossibility for trucks to exit towards Lithuania,» said Aleksandr Turchin.

The head of state reviewed the carriers’ appeal and, guided by humanitarian considerations, instructed the prime minister to meet with the road transport operators and hear their position. Belarus is ready to consider the current situation in order to find possible ways to resolve it.
