Vehicles, coming from Russia, have problems in entering Georgia

Vehicles, coming from Russia, are unable to enter Georgia. The reason for it is bad weather, due to which the Kobi-Gudauri road is closed.

As IPN was told by the Ministry of Regional Development, movement of all types of vehicles is prohibited at the Kobi-Gudauri section due to bad weather.

As for the customs checkpoint Kazbegi, according to the Revenue Service, the checkpoint operates as usual.
The issue was covered by the Russian media too. About 100 cars are parked at the Russian border, says the Russian media.

In addition, on 19 January traffic was suspended on the Transcaucasia highway, which is the only connector between Russia and so-called South Ossetia.
