Print versionLorry drivers carrying fruit and vegetables from Lithuania have to be prepared for the worst at the Belarusian border post. Although some more persistent drivers managed to bring cargo into Belarus, yet, most of them were forced to turn back and wait for the situation to clear up, reports LETA/ELTA, referring to Lietuvos rytas.

For example, company Ipsun carried various fruits to Belarus – nectarines, apricots, grapes and others.
Even though the destination was not Russia, which banned import of these products from the EU, lorries still had to wait at the border.
Belarusian institutions have not explained why they are displeased with goods from Lithuania, says Laimute Grybauskaite, President of the Association Fruit and Vegetables, which unites companies selling these products. "Our institutions have asked for an official explanation," said the president of the association.
On Thursday, the State Plant Service and the Ministry of Economy informed the European Commission about the situation.
