Poland's Andrzej Adamczyk, the European Commission's Magdalena Kopczyńska and Ukraine's Serhiy Derkach held talks at the Polish-Ukrainian border crossing in the eastern Polish village of Dorohusk on Wednesday, Polish state news agency PAP reported.
The Polish infrastructure minister told the media that the meeting was designed to "make the Ukrainian side aware of the demands of the protesters, so that Ukraine can take measures to meet these demands."
Earlier on Wednesday, Adamczyk hosted the European Commission's Director-General for Mobility and Transport, Magdalena Kopczyńska, in Warsaw, and briefed her on the causes behind the Polish truckers' protest, the PAP news agency reported.
It said Adamczyk noted the issue of the restoration by Ukraine of separate lanes for empty trucks at border crossings.
Adamczyk also expressed the Polish government's support for the truckers' demand that Ukraine reinstate certain aspects of an electronic queuing system, according to officials.
Adamczyk and Kopczyńska also discussed the impact, on the Polish transport industry, of the 2022 EU-Ukraine agreement on the liberalisation of the "carriage of freight by road," the PAP news agency reported.
