"I don't have such information. To my knowledge, they want to subject a driver of my company to a 100-percent check on the Latvian-Russian border," he told BNS on Thursday.
It does not seem that tightened checks have been ended, but there is unofficial information that the situation has eased somewhat, Atroškevičius says.
"There are products that are let through faster. The number of vehicles standing (at the border) for up to two weeks has fallen. But this could be due to fewer goods being transported," he said.
Lithuanian trucks have been stuck at Russian customs posts after Moscow imposed tightened checks almost three weeks ago. Some Lithuanian government officials have said that the blockade was likely to end on Thursday. Meanwhile, haulers have warned that Russia may impose the same measures on trucks from Latvia, Estonia, and Poland.
