According to the State Border Service of Ukraine, the checkpoint "Vishne-German – Uzhgorod" was temporarily unblocked in Slovakia.
Recall that on November 21, Slovak carriers blocked the movement of trucks through the checkpoint "Vishne-German – Uzhgorod" on the Ukrainian border. They took this step as a sign of solidarity with their Polish colleagues.
The initiator of the action was the Union of Carriers of Slovakia. Because of the blockade, several hundred trucks have accumulated on the border. At the same time, passenger cars, humanitarian aid vehicles and buses passed through the checkpoint.
Carriers of Poland and Slovakia are convinced that the privileges that the governments of their countries confer on Ukrainian capital deprive them of earnings. They demand to reduce the number of trucks entering the EU from Ukraine, as well as to return transportation permits for Ukrainian vehicles. However, representatives of the European Commission are convinced that the requirements are not legally possible.
The service life of the checkpoint is not specified.
