Lithuania: Belarusians unable to claim cars at Klaipeda port

Sanctions have left Belarusians unable to claim imported cars at Lithuania’s Klaipeda State Seaport, LRT reports, citing local daily Vakaru Ekspresas. Belarusian media claimed that almost 4,000 cars bought by Belarusians from the US were stuck at the port. Vaidotas Sileika, chairman of the Association of Lithuanian Stevedoring Companies (LJKKA), confirmed that the information could be accurate. He explained that Belarusians were unable to claim the cars because of international sanctions, given that their owners cannot guarantee that the vehicles will not be transported to Russia.
