Belarus’ border guards say Lithuania not to process trucks at Medininkai on Saturday

June 1, Pozirk. Lithuanian border guards have suspended truck traffic at the Medininkai checkpoint at the Lithuanian-Belarusian border until 6 pm on Saturday, citing technical reasons, the Belarusian State Border Committee reports.
Cross-border traffic of passenger vehicles and buses has not been affected, it noted.
The Lithuanian side did not release any announcements.
The Medininkai border crossing is one of the two checkpoints open for traffic between Belarus and Lithuania.
In August 2023, Lithuania closed its Šumskas and Tverečius checkpoints, and in March 2024, Lavoriškės and Raigardas, leaving only Medininkai and Šalčininkai to handle the cross-border traffic.
Vilnius cited national security, smuggling and international sanctions as the reasons.
