"Our desire is to constructively agree and get out of a difficult situation," the Prime Minister of Belarus stated during a meeting with Lithuanian and Polish carriers, writes BelTA.
International road carriers appealed to Lukashenka with a request to facilitate the settlement of the situation with trucks with Lithuanian registration.
"We, despite the openly unfriendly policy of neighboring states, take a constructive position and intend to maximally consider the interests of all stakeholders. Despite the possibility of confiscating vehicles, the Belarusian side clearly has neither the intention nor the desire to use this. Our desire is to constructively agree and get out of a difficult situation. During a recent visit by representatives of the Lithuanian association, they had the opportunity to verify that all vehicles are in protected parking lots and in proper condition. The owner of these parking lots is a commercial organization. Our position is also clear: the expenses incurred by our company must be compensated," said Alexander Turchyn.
"Throughout these four months, we have offered our colleagues from the Republic of Lithuania to meet, to hold negotiations with the aim of choosing measures to resolve this and other issues in bilateral interaction. Unfortunately, probably, the Lithuanian government has more important things to do than to deal with the problems of its own business," the Prime Minister added.
It should be recalled that in November last year, in response to constant arrivals of smuggler weather balloons, Lithuania closed its border with Belarus.
In response, official Minsk collected trucks of Lithuanian carriers and placed them in special paid parking lots. At the same time, the Belarusian authorities threatened to confiscate the trucks.

Замечу, что с поляками таких проблем не было, потому что поляки все сделали по процедурам.
Поэтому тут виноваты в ситуации обе стороны, при этом страдает - третья, перевозчики из разных стран.
