Polish gov't signs deal with hauliers to suspend Ukraine border blockade: audio report

Since early November, Polish truckers have been blocking the border crossings with Ukraine, causing queues with waiting time counted in thousands of hours. Their key demand was that the European Union reinstate permits for Ukrainian transport companies entering the bloc. After three months of stalemate - it seems that the long-awaited agreement has been finally reached, as mid-week the protest was suspended.
