In connection with this, Estonia plans to replace the current controls with a full inspection of all trucks that intend to cross its border.

It is noted that this measure may subsequently be taken in other EU countries. According to Postimees, Estonia intends to hold talks with Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Finland on introducing uniform requirements and procedures for border inspections.

Earlier it was reported that Estonians were urged not to visit the Russian Federation due to the threat of border closures.
