What is going on at the checkpoints?

The queues for transport to enter the European Union more than doubled on August 10. The State Border Committee of Belarus reports on Telegram.

As of 10:00 AM, cars were waiting to enter in front of all Lithuanian checkpoints. In total, 530 passenger cars are standing in line at all checkpoints.

As for trucks, the longest queue is in front of the Lithuanian Šalčininkai (Belarusian Beniakoni) - 130 trucks.

There is a queue on the border with Latvia in front of the Patarnieki checkpoint (Belarusian Ryhoravshchyna).

On August 10, 390 trucks were waiting for entry at all checkpoints in total.

Charter97.org reported that the Bobrowniki-Berestavitsa checkpoint on the Polish-Belarusian border has officially suspended the registration of vehicles and individuals since February 10 this year. Poland reacted to the verdict against Andrzej Poczobut, a journalist and one of the leaders of the Union of Poles in Belarus. The Lukashists sentenced him to eight years in prison.

Poland also banned trucks that are not registered in the EU member states from moving through the Kukuryki checkpoint.
