Quote from Derkach: "Our Slovak counterparts have confirmed that they do not support the blocking of the border. Especially when it comes to the only cargo point with Slovakia: Uzhhorod-Vyšné Nemecké... They promised to hold consultations with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Slovakia to prevent such protests."

Details: The Slovak official also confirmed the appeal of one of the carrier associations, which demands a return to the permit system.

"I assured our counterparts that the liberalisation of transport is a necessary step in the context of the war and the sea blockade," the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure added.
