Smuggled goods from Russia and Belarus enter Lithuanian via Latvia
Petras Vaida, BC, Lithuania,
Lithuanian Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius admitted that a lot of illegal goods come to Lithuania from Russia and Belarus via Latvia, The Lithuanian Tribune reports.
"Large quantity of smuggled cigarettes are shipped into Lithuania not through Belarus-Lithuania or Kaliningrad-Lithuania border but rather via Latvian borders where the goods are illegally shipped from Belarus and Russia," Andrius Kubilius emphasized.
"This is more difficult for us [Lithuanians] to stop or combat it because the Lithuanian-Latvian border is, as we all know, in the Schengen zone," Kubilius noted.
