On July 12, Vitebsk /Diana Kurilo - BELTA/. The simplified crossing point "Plyusy" (Republic of Belarus) - "Kaplava" (Republic of Latvia) in Braslav district will operate three days a week from July 15 to October 15, Denis Glebko, assistant head of the Polotsk Border Guard Detachment for Media Relations, informed a BELTA correspondent. Due to the closure for reconstruction of the international crossing point "Grigorovshchina" on the Belarusian-Latvian border in Verkhnedvinsk district, from July 15 to October 15, 2012, the simplified crossing point "Plyusy" (Republic of Belarus) - "Kaplava" (Republic of Latvia) in Braslav district will now operate three days a week - on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 9:00 to 21:00. Denis Glebko drew attention to the fact that only residents of the border areas of Belarus and Latvia will be able to cross the state border at the simplified crossing point "Plyusy". Citizens of third countries, as well as Belarusians and Latvians not residing in the border areas, will be able to cross the Belarusian-Latvian border only through the crossing point "Urbany" (Republic of Belarus) - "Silene" (Republic of Latvia). -0-
