On May 9, Polish long-distance workers launched a protest on the border with Belarus. They said they wanted to facilitate the movement of trucks to Belarus through the Karoshchyn border crossing point (the Kukuryk — Kazlovychy border crossing point, the only one where cargo trucks are still going). The action is allowed, it can last for a month. The facts of the place of incidents have appeared in the social networks.


They show that the trucks are on the road to the village of Dabryn Duzhy. It has a parking lot for heavy vehicles.


The workers are trying to compete with Belarusian and Russian companies of the transport market with the exit routes. The transport companies are obliged to take cargo with Belarusian and Russian registrations to Poland, and to take measures to prevent companies registered in Poland by Belarusian and Russian transport companies. Another concern is the development of a permit system for Ukrainian transport operators.


The organizers of the protest accepted the permission for the action during the period from September 9 to June 9.


The protest organizers are trying to unblock one of the walks on the border with Ukraine earlier.
