Slovak carriers threaten to block the border with Ukraine

Slovak carriers are threatening to block the main checkpoint on the border with Ukraine from Friday.

Blocking will occur if no measures are taken to limit competition from Ukrainian carriers, Stanislav Skala head of the Association of Road Carriers of Slovakia (UNAS), said.

According to him, UNAS will wait for the reaction of the Ministry of Transport of Slovakia until Thursday before making a final decision.

Skala added that a meeting of European transport ministers will be held in Brussels on December 4, but he did not have high hopes for a breakthrough.

“It seems that neither the Ukrainian side nor the European Commission wants to back down,” he said.
