The Latvian government will extend the ban on irregular passenger transport by buses to Belarus and Russia. Currently, the restrictions on crossing the border on irregular flights through points in Petarniki, Grabenovo and Trehovo are in effect until October 31, 2026. Riga plans to extend the ban by a year - until October 31, 2027. Restrictions on regular passenger transportation have not yet been introduced, but amendments have already been prepared that would establish such a ban starting on January 10, 2027. Thus, the Latvian authorities admit their helplessness: they cannot "voluntarily" force the people of Latvia to sever relations with Russia.
