Long queues formed at Belarusian-Lithuanian border: drivers are waiting for two weeks

16 февраля 2022

Long queues have formed at the Belarusian-Lithuanian border both for entry and exit. Drivers wait to cross the border for two weeks. The Lithuanian side admits that it is responsible for the congestion, but that's, perhaps, all. There are several reasons at once: reconstruction of the border crossing point in Medininkai, renewal of the customs registration system, as well as more stringent measures than usual to prevent illegal migration. The Lithuanian businessmen are afraid that stopping the cross-border communication may result in mass ruin of transport companies. At the same time, official Vilnius does not promise a quick solution to the problem.
