BORDER TROUBLES * Latvia/Russia - Almost 1,500 trucks stuck in traffic jam
Riga,Latvia -RIA Novosti -October 12, 2008: -- Almost 1,500 trucks are stuck in traffic jams at the Latvian-Russian border, the Baltic country's border guards press service said on Sunday... A total of 1,200 vehicles are involved at the Terekhovo-Burachki border post on the road to Moscow and 220 at the Grebnevo-Ubylinka crossing on the road to St. Petersburg... Increased trade between Russia and the EU combined with the tiny traffic capacity of border posts have made such jams routine in Latvia, which is one of the EU's most eastern states... A record queue of 2000 trucks was registered in August 2007. Drivers usually spend an average of more than 23 hours queuing at the Terekhovo-Burachki point, and about 20 hours at the Grebnevo-Ubylinka crossing... (Photo: Trucks waiting at Russia-Latvia border)
