Hungarian truckers are planning to strike rather than block the Ukrainian border to protest against the 'transport visa-free regime' with Ukraine, as explained by the vice president of the International Association of Road Carriers of Ukraine.

Hungarian protesters will not block the border, but they will be on strike. They will stand by the road and express their protest. This was announced in the telethon, the vice president of the Association of International Road Carriers of Ukraine Volodymyr Balin, reports UNN.

We talked to this association on Tuesday and their position is unclear. They say that the "permitless system" has distorted the market. Although the agreement between Ukraine and the EU, which they want to cancel so badly, explicitly prohibits us to carry out transportation through the territory of the EU

 he said.

Additionally

The Association of Hungarian Trucking Contractors MKFE announcedthat it will start a protest on Monday, December 11, following the Polish and Slovak truckers. Their main demand is the abolition of the "transport visa-free regime" for Ukraine.
