Lithuania is experiencing a shortage of Belarusian salt for road maintenance in winter. This was reported the other day by the representative of Klaipeda municipality, Andrius Dobranskis.
According to him, Klaipeda road services make every effort to clean the streets after the earlier snowfall, but there are problems with the salt used for this purpose. Currently, only salt imported from Germany and Egypt is available to the Lithuanian authorities. However, it copes worse with snow than the Belarusian one, which was imported earlier.
“As practice has shown, the Belarusian salt is no longer available, there is Egyptian salt, but it dissolves ineffectively,” said the head of one of the Lithuanian companies, Vaidas Ramanauskas.
According to him, a record amount of salt was poured in the streets of Klaipeda over the weekend, but it does not melt the ice. At the same time, in the other part of the city, where the remnants of the Belarusian salt are still used, they managed to clean the streets qualitatively.
Let us remind you that Lithuania is officially one of the main initiators of the anti-Belarusian sanctions, which affected Belaruskali late last year. The ban also affects the technical salt, which used to be successfully sold in the European market. In this regard, since the beginning of the year Belarusian potash companies no longer sell their products in the direction of the EU countries, nor do they work with Lithuanian ports.
