MINSK, 22 December (BelTA) - Passenger traffic at Belarus’ border with the European Union is expected to increase during the time ahead of the New Year celebrations, BelTA learned from the State Border Committee.
In Belarus, the period from 25 to 28 December are days off. In this regard, passenger traffic across Belarus's borders with Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia is expected to increase.
Primarily the border service anticipates an increase in the number of passenger vehicles. Alongside Belarusians wishing to spend the pre-New Year time abroad, citizens of Russia and other countries also traditionally transit through Belarusian territory into the EU during this period.
Currently, seven European border crossing points operate on the border with Belarus. However, passenger vehicles can only pass through six of them: the Latvian Pāternieki (Grigorovshchina on the Belarusian side), the Lithuanian Medininkai (Kamenny Log on the Belarusian side), Šalčininkai (Benyakoni on the Belarusian side), and the Polish Bobrowniki (Berestovitsa on the Belarusian side), Kuznica Białostocka (Bruzgi on the Belarusian side) and Terespol (Brest on the Belarusian side).
If necessary, the Belarusian side will increase the number of border guards to prevent delays in the traffic across the border.
