According to the Ministry of Finance of Lithuania, which prepared the proposal, the customs authorities of Lithuania and Belarus have not cooperated and have not exchanged information since the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine in February 2022, therefore it is advisable to denounce the document.
