Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya: “Restrictions on the entry of Belarusian-registered vehicles are a hasty and harmful decision. It primarily hurts the people, not the Lukashenka regime. Therefore, we are trying to convince our partners to revert or amend this decision. We are in contact with Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia, emphasizing the need to make exceptions for Belarusians entering the EU in their own cars.
We have a reached mutual agreement that restrictions must not affect passenger transportation. Belarusians living in the European Union will also be able to re-register their cars with European license plates.
However, we are aware that this relief still does not solve the mobility problem for Belarusians. For them, the border with the European Union is a border with the free world. It should be open to Belarusians who do not support the regime and see the future of their country in Europe. We will keep defending Belarusians’ interests”.
