The Hungarian carriers will join their Polish counterparts in the blockade of the western border of Ukraine since Monday. This was stated in a press release from the Association of Hungarian Road Transporters.
It is noted that the Hungarian police allowed the protest to take place at the border. Transport workers they will start a “demonstration” on the Hungarian side of the border near the Zahony-Chop border crossing.
Exactly what this demonstration will look like is not directly specified, but it is said that the Hungarians will act “similar to what Polish and Slovak truck drivers have done in recent weeks“.
The requirements of Hungarian carriers are the same as those of Poles – a return to the licensing system of Ukrainian carriers operating in the EU.
As UNIAN wrote, since November 6, Polish carriers have been blocking checkpoints on Ukraine’s border with Poland.
Poles are unhappy with the high competition, which Ukrainian drivers introduced to the European market after last year’s abolition of the EU license system for Ukrainians. Due to this, the volume of Ukrainian exports through Poland fell by 40%.
