The Polish government will not try to unblock the border with Ukraine amid strikes in the coming weeks. The EU Council will discuss this issue, including the potential return of permits for Ukrainian companies.

The Polish authorities will not make any attempts in the coming weeks unblock the border with Ukraine due to the strike of carriers. This was stated by the vice-president Association of International Road Carriers Vladimir Balin on the air of the telethon, writes UNN.

In the next two weeks, the Polish government and, in particular, the new minister, who will not be a new minister for a long time, they will not make any attempts to unblock the four borders

- Balin said.

According to him, Polish officials met with the strikers - and they promised not to block two more checkpoints.

Commenting on the consideration of blocking checkpoints by the EU Council in early December, the vice-president of the Association of international road carriers said that at the meeting Poland, Hungary and Slovakia will try to return permits for Ukrainian companies to transport goods."

It is a fact that at a meeting with the participation of Poland, Hungary and Slovakia, they will defend the position that it is necessary to return permits. I hope that the EU will make an informed decision, because today there is really no licensing system, and today Ukrainian carriers do not violate the rights of carriers of these countries in any way 

- he added.
