The hold follows Lithuania’s month-long halt of road traffic over incidents involving contraband-carrying meteorological sondes.

Overview

  • Belarusian customs reports that 1,370 Lithuanian freight trucks are now parked on five guarded sites under customs supervision.
  • Authorities say 230 trucks that entered from Russia have been placed in temporary customs storage across several regions.
  • Movement of the vehicles inside Belarus is restricted, with exit permitted only through Lithuanian border segments.
  • Customs officials state that drivers who remain on site have access to shops, hot meals, sanitary facilities, showers and laundry.
  • Lithuania has suspended road traffic with Belarus until November 30 with a possible extension, later allowing limited crossings for certain people at one checkpoint.
