Russia and Poland will resume freight trucking for two months under a temporary agreement, which comes after a short halt in transportation between the two countries, Russian Deputy Minister of Transport Nikolay Asaul said.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Freight transport between Russia and Poland was suspended on February 1 because of a lack of an agreement on quotas for the issuance of permits for 2016. A temporary agreement on the ground transportation of goods was reached on Friday, February 19 and will be in force until April 15.

"This document [temporary protocol] comes into force starting from the day of the signing. It is expected that already tomorrow the sides will exchange permit forms. So Russian and Polish carriers will be able to resume transportation between our countries," Russian Deputy Minister of Transport Nikolay Asaul said.

The temporary agreement will be replaced by a permanent one once the two sides analyze the work of the freight carriers after the temporary deal expires, the minister explained.
