“The head of state asked about efforts to improve infrastructure in other checkpoints. Of course, we are analyzing the situation, the traffic in various regions and highways trying to understand whether large-scale customs infrastructure will be in demand there,” Chairman of the State Customs Committee Yuri Senko said. He stressed that everything should be approached comprehensively, taking into account road repairs.
The chairman of the State Customs Committee underlined that the committee maintains close communication with transportation companies and road haulers in a bid to identify possible bottlenecks in border infrastructure. “We study their feedback and take it on board. Unfortunately, there is a problem of queues at the border. As a rule, these problems have to do with the actions of the neighboring states and are not connected with the work of the Belarusian side,” he added.
