When Lithuania had not yet been the EU member-state, the main problem for road transport business was associated with the lack of travel permits. This problem still remains and has become even more acute for travelling to Eastern countries, especially to Russia. The decrease of the volume of transportation to the East is highly disadvantageous to Lithuanian carriers because it decreases their competitiveness on the European market. Therefore the responsibility of the Ministry of Transport and Communications of the Republic of Lithuania and its institutions is to appropriately administrate interstate agreements because the economic and social development of the country heavily depends on it.
