Polish freight carriers not allowed into Russia

Russian labor permit agreements in the cargo business with Poland have officially expired, as a consequence Polish freight carriers are no longer allowed into Russian territory. Talks to renew them have been unsuccessful. Jerzy Szmit, deputy minister of infrastructure, who is in charge of transport said that Poland received a protocol with Russia's statement regarding the negotiations. "Unfortunately, not everything included in the document is the way that suits us, secondly, it does not apply to what we agreed on," he pointed out.
