Russia and Poland have agreed to extend a transition period between agreements on freight traffic until April 15, Poland's Infrastructure Ministry deputy head Jerzy Schmidt said, the state-run TASS news agency reported Friday.
?€?We will continue these negotiations which are important not only for transport, but also for the economies of Russia and Poland,?€? he said.
Experts from both countries will discuss a new agreement in the hope of finding a joint solution by mid-April.
Previous cargo transportation agreements between the two counties expired on Feb. 1. As a result, all automotive cargo transportation between two countries stopped.
Many Russian trucks began using Ukraine as a transit country, but Ukrainian activists began to block heavy trucks with Russian number plates in Ukraine's western Zakarpattia region.
