As noted, the Consul, Serh Tsaruk, visited the Dorohusk-Yahodyn checkpoint, where he met the local pice and protesters, emphasizing that any delays in the movement of passenger buses are unacceptable.

"The pice denied the facts of protesters intentionally blocking passenger buses. Traffic issues may be caused by technical reasons related to the passage of other vehicles through the corridor provided by protestors. In such cases, buses may need to wait in lines for up to 30 minutes," the consulate notes.
