Previously, the Association of carriers of Russia announced that March 27 will host the truckers, which will be attended by not less than 10 000 drivers.
The action was planned, despite the fact that Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on 24 March signed a decree on increase of the tariff system “Platon” only 25%, whereas previously the fee had doubled in size. Thus, the fee for trucks from 15 April per kilometer would amount to 1.91 RUB, not RUB 3,91, as previously planned.
