Lithuania Closes 2 Border Checkpoints With Belarus on March 1
The Lavorišk?s and Raigardas border crossing points will close on March 1, and for as long as they remain shut, it won’t be possible to pass from Lithuania to Belarus and the other way around, AtoZSerwisPlus.com reports.
Commenting on the decision, the Minister of Interior of Lithuania, Agn? Bilotait?, said that such a measure is being implemented to control irregular migration and people smuggling and reduce traffic safety risks.
Minister Bilotait? further emphasised the necessity of this step, citing the increasing challenges in controlling the flow of goods, transport, and people across the border.
With neighbouring states having only one functional checkpoint with Belarus, Minister Bilotait? said that the burden of the country’s border crossing points has surged, and concerns have been raised regarding heightened activities of Belarusian intelligence and security services targeting Lithuania and its citizens.
With the decision, from March 1, only the Medininkai and Šal?ininkai border crossing points will be open with Belarus.
However, restrictions will also apply at these two border crossing points. Lithuania has decided to restrict the movement of pedestrians and cyclists through the Medininkai and Šal?ininkai border crossing points.
Measures have also been taken to restrict the boarding and disembarking of passengers at Kena and Kybarta railway checkpoints.
Furthermore, the issuance of permits for citizens of Belarus and Lithuanian carriers engaged in regular international bus transport will be limited to 50 per cent.
Data from the Lithuanian Ministry of Interior show that the country’s authorities carried out checks on almost 3.9 million people at the Belarus border. The majority of those checked were Belarus citizens, accounting for 66 percent of the total.
On the other hand, the Ministry revealed that 684,000 Lithuanian citizens crossed the border with Belarus in 2023, representing a 13 per cent decrease from 2022. Lithuanian citizens are highly advised by the country not to travel to Belarus and Russia.
