Poland has reopened two of its border crossings with Belarus, the PAP news agency reported. The Bobrowniki crossing is now open for cars, buses, and trucks, while the Kuznica crossing is open exclusively for cars.
The move comes as the migration crisis along the border has eased and aims to address the economic needs of Poland’s border regions. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk had announced on October 28 that the Bobrowniki and Kuznica crossings were ready to reopen, noting that the reopening had been delayed earlier in the month to coordinate with Lithuania. At that time, Lithuanian authorities decided to close their border with Belarus until the end of November to combat smuggling.
