“Not only border service personnel but territorial defense forces, other units are guarding the border on the other side. We don't even understand who they are because they lack identification signs. Naturally there is tension, there is danger,” the head of the Belarusian border service noted.
Aleksandr Lukashenko outlined key items on the agenda at the beginning of the meeting: “What is the situation at the border from your point of view? Naturally from an economic angle first and foremost. How are you performing your key functions to replenish the state budget in the sphere you are responsible for?”
There are also a lot of trucks waiting to enter Poland. “Due to the closure of the Kuznica Bialostocka checkpoint, Poland has significantly reduced throughput capacity along its border. Despite the fact that transport entered the EU through the Latvian border crossings without delays over the past 24 hours, there are lines of trucks in this direction,” the committee said.
