Representatives of the Lithuanian customs said that they were really going to close the Stasylos border crossing for the movement of freight trains from Belarus to Lithuania, this was discussed at least since January 19th.

This measure is due to the fact that at the Stasylos crossing there is no X-ray complex for inspecting trains, which allows smuggling from the territory of Belarus. The Lithuanian customs said that the amount of smuggling going through the Kana station, where an X-ray system was installed in October, has dropped significantly.
