The situation at the border crossing point "Kukuryki" worsened after the temporary closure of the border in September. On the Belarusian side, there was a large queue of trucks waiting to enter Poland. At its peak there were 4 thousand vehicles.

In addition, the meeting touched upon the issues of the transport industry: the agreement liberalizing transportation between the EU and Ukraine, the European Mobility Package, financing the mandatory replacement of tachographs and environmental requirements for transport workers, introduced in the EU.
