The list of gas stations in Belarus where trucks with EU country numbers can refuel has become even smaller. Now European drivers can replenish the tank only at five stations that are located near checkpoints. The resolution on this is published on the National Legal Internet Portal of the Republic of Belarus.
Where can I refuel a truck from Europe now?
- Filling station No. 10 of RUE Belorusneft-Brestoblnefteprodukt (Brest);
- Filling station No. 92 of RUE Belorusneft-Brestoblnefteprodukt (Brest);
- Gas station No. 9 of RUE Belorusneft-Grodnooblnefteprodukt (Grodno district);
- Gas station No. 84 of LUKOIL Belorussia LLC (Voronovsky district);
- Gas station No. 40 RUE "Belorusneft-Vitsebskoblnefteprodukt" (Novopolotsk).
Recall that restrictions on refueling European trucks were introduced in Belarus in May last year in response to EU sanctions. Then the Belarusian authorities obliged truck drivers to refuel only at certain gas stations. Initially, there were 12 gas stations near 10 points on this list.
In April 2023, the number of such stations was reduced to 8 units. Now there are five of them. Special fuel prices are set at authorized stations for refueling trucks from Europe.
What happens if a truck from the EU refuels in the wrong place?
For refueling a truck with license plates from EU countries in unidentified places, the culprit may be brought to administrative responsibility under Article 24.3 of the Administrative Code (disobedience to a lawful order or request of an official in the performance of his official powers). The penalty under the article provides for the imposition of a fine in the amount of 2 to 100 basic units (from 64 to 3,200 rubles), or community service, or administrative arrest.
