Trucks are no longer being checked at the Lithuanian-Polish border as Polish farmers have ended their protest launched last Friday, Lithuania’s State Border Guard Service (VSAT) said on Thursday.
The organisers said last week that the protest, which started last Friday, would last for a week.
VSAT spokesperson Giedrius Mišutis said there were no problems at the Lithuanian border during the nearly week-long protest.
“We can say that everything went smoothly,” he noted.
At protesting farmers’ request, Polish officials last Friday started checking trucks at the former Kalvarija-Budzisko border checkpoint, amid fears that some Ukrainian grain from Lithuania could be returning to Poland.
Around 6,000 trucks cross the border at the former checkpoint daily.
