Beginning from Thursday, Russia is putting on a special regime created on the risk profile for cargo from Lithuania. It means full unloading, full inspection of the cargo, sample taking and sending of samples for examination. It is believed that such things have never happened before, except perhaps individual haulers. Furthermore, some unofficial sources say that this measure had been ordered by the Federal Customs Service of Russia.
"Foreign Vice-Minister Andrius Krivas expressed deep concern and presented a note of a relevant content," the Foreign Ministry said.
According to the press release, Russia's Ambassador Vladimir Chkhikvadze was summoned to the Foreign Ministry on Friday for explanations over the discriminatory measures applied by Russia.
