Poland Delays Re-opening of Belarus Border Crossings in Solidarity With Lithuania
Poland has agreed to push back the reopening of two Belarus border crossings until at least mid-November, aligning its policy with Lithuania’s full closure of the Belarus frontier. The move keeps most passenger and freight traffic funnelled through a single Terespol crossing, extending trip times and costs for businesses. Warsaw says the delay is necessary to show solidarity with Vilnius and to counter smuggling and security risks linked to Belarus and Russia. The decision underscores persistent volatility on Poland’s eastern border and the need for corporates to maintain contingency plans for travel and supply-chain disruption.
