Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki does not rule out further closure of checkpoints on the border with Belarus.
After only two of the six checkpoints left to operate on the Polish-Belarusian border, the Polish authorities allow the closure of the last of them.
This is reported by TVN 24.
Prime Minister of Poland Mateusz Morawiecki said that Poland “does not rule out further closure of checkpoints” with its neighbor. The reason for this, he noted, is the “increase in tension” associated with the fact that “Belarus plays the way the Kremlin plays,” and such behavior “becomes more and more dangerous for Poland, for Ukraine and Europe.”
It is noted that the decision to stop traffic in Bobrovniki, Podlasie, Poland, was made on Thursday. After this event, Chargé d'Affaires for Poland Marcin Wojciechowski was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Minsk.
According to the Minister of the Interior of Poland, Mariusz Kaminsky, the corresponding decision was made “because of the important interests of state security.” It should be added that for more than a year Bobrovniki was the only operating automobile checkpoint on the border with Belarus in this region, where freight and passenger transportation was carried out.
