Representatives of the customs authorities allowed the TIR trucks that got stuck at the customs posts “Troebortnoe” in Russia and “Bachevsk” in Ukraine to go back to Moldova and returned the confiscated goods to the drivers, IPN reports, with reference to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration.

Eight of the 12 trucks could move on through Russia’s territory, while four are yet near the Bachevsk customs post because they were vandalized and cannot be towed away. The authorities keep in touch with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia so as to identity solutions for the four remaining trucks.

The Moldovan drivers who are now at the Troebortnoe customs post want their trucks to be towed away from the territory of the Russian Federation so as to repair them and to bring them to Moldova.

Of the 12 trucks belonging to Moldova transport operators, eight have Moldovan license numbers, two have Russian license numbers, while one truck has a Romania license plate.

Twenty eight transport companies of Moldova that operate routes to different Russian cities and own one to five trucks were assisted to take away their trucks towards Moldova, bypassing Ukraine, through the green corridor that will be proposed by the Russian side. The routes will be later specified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.
