  • Representatives of the Ministry for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development to hold a meeting at the border with the Polish side to unblock checkpoints

    On 13 November, the Ministry of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine will hold a meeting at the border with representatives of the Polish authorities and carriers to unblock the checkpoints. The meeting will be attended by the Ministry of Infrastructure of Poland, representatives of voivodeships, the European Commission's Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport, the Embassy of Ukraine in Poland and carriers. The Ministry for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure of Ukraine will be represented by Deputy Minister Serhiy Derkach.

    At the same time, following the talks between Serhiy Derkach and Rafał Weber, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Infrastructure of Poland, the Ukrainian side has already resolved two issues raised by their Polish colleagues.

    These are the functioning of lanes for empty vehicles directly at the Yahodyn-Dorohusk checkpoint and the update of the eCherha system functions - the ability to swap drivers for empty trucks.

    In addition, it was once again proposed to our Polish colleagues that empty trucks be allowed to run through the Uhryniv-Dolhobychuv checkpoint, where there is a special lane. This option would allow empty trucks to reduce the waiting time to cross the border. We are waiting for the relevant decision.

    Background information.

    Over the past day, 27 vehicles managed to cross the largest cargo crossing point "Yagodyn-Dorohusk" to leave Ukraine during 24 hours. The memorandum sets this number at 680 trucks. At the Rawa-Ruska-Hrebenne crossing point, 40 vehicles crossed to leave, while the memorandum states 300 per day, and at Krakivets-Korchova, 227 trucks left.
