Poland to Reopen Two Belarus Border Crossings on Nov. 17

Belarus reports its adjacent checkpoints are fully prepared for a limited resumption of traffic.

Overview

Poland formally notified Minsk it will open the Kuznica-Belostotskaya and Bobrowniki checkpoints at 02:00 on Nov. 17 (Belarus time).
An order signed by Poland’s interior minister sets Kuznica for passenger traffic only, with buses excluded.
Bobrowniki will take passenger cars and buses plus trucks from the EU, EEA states and Switzerland.
Belarusian customs says the Bruzgi and Berestovitsa crossings are staffed, upgraded and ready to resume movement.
The move follows a brief delay coordinated with Lithuania and adds capacity to a border recently limited to one freight route and one passenger route.
