Belarus and Russia will create a unified register of carriers’ debts. The decision was adopted following a meeting of the Belarusian-Russian Joint Commission on International Road Transport in Minsk. The Belarusian delegation was led by Deputy Transport and Communications Minister Siarhei Dubina, while the Russian delegation was headed by Deputy Transport Minister Aleksei Shilo.
The register will serve as a single source of information for supervisory and regulatory authorities in both countries. At the same time, procedures have been defined for Belarusian carriers to pay fines for violations committed in Russia, as well as mechanisms to ensure the inevitability of punishment for transport-related offences within the Union State, the Russian Transport Ministry’s press service reported.
As of April 28, a total of 121 routes between the two countries were registered in the international routes register. In 2025, 39 new routes were approved, and a further eight in 2026. The parties agreed to prepare a joint plan for the development of international road transport.
Participants in the meeting also discussed the use of Russian tankers to transport products from Belarusian oil refineries, the transition of transport documents into electronic form, the harmonisation of approaches to the transport of dangerous goods, and the registration of Belarusian residents in Russian information databases.
The agreements reached have been formalised in the meeting protocol and will form the basis of the transport section in the main directions for implementing the Union State Treaty for the period 2027–2029.
