Border Committee of Belarus: queues of trucks at the border are formed due to the fault of Poland caused by Poland's failure to comply with transport agreements, RIA Novosti reports, citing information from the State Border Committee.
According to a representative of the department, the formation of queues at the Bobrovniki-Berestovitsa checkpoint is due to the fact that Poland issues a small number of trucks to exit. Berestovitsa, a Belarusian checkpoint, can admit up to 500 trucks per day and produce the same. “Over the past day, the Polish side, in violation of the existing agreements on the implementation of the capacity, issued only 268 trucks to leave Belarus. At the same time, during the same day, the Belarusian services issued 562 trucks entering the country, exceeding the regulatory capacity, “the border committee said.
Since Tuesday, Poland has closed the Kuznitsa checkpoint across the border with Belarus in connection with migration situation, so the traffic flow went to the nearest international automobile checkpoints, including Bobrovniki-Berestovitsa.
Earlier, the Polish authorities announced that they were planning to build a fence on the border with Belarus. According to the Minister of Internal Affairs of the republic, Mariusz Kamiński, the length of the structure will be 180 kilometers and the height – 5.5 meters.
