The border blockade will begin if the European Commission does not restore the issuance of commercial permits for transport within the EU. Carriers believe that the ministry has not been paying attention to freight transportation for a long time and is completely ignoring the problem. The head of the Union of Road Carriers of Slovakia (UNAS), Stanislav Skala, sent a corresponding letter to the Ministry of Transport of Slovakia.
We would like to invite you to a meeting to discuss problems with Ukrainian carriers that do not require transportation permits. We would like to note that Slovak freight transport is on its knees. As you can see, Polish carriers are blocking their borders because they have the same problem as our carriers,” the letter says.
Earlier, Slovak media wrote about accumulations of trucks traveling to Ukraine at the Vyshne Nemetskoe-Uzhgorod border crossing.
Let us remind you that on November 6, Polish carriers began a protest on the Polish-Ukrainian border – they completely blocked the passage of freight vehicles to the Yagodin-Dorogusk and Rava-Russkaya-Grebnoye emergency situations. Because of this blockade, the flow of trucks across the border was reduced by two to three times, tens of thousands of vehicles stopped on both sides.
Ukraine and Poland held border negotiations on November 13, but they failed – Polish carriers continue to block the three main directions of the border.
