On May 7, 2024, Latvian transport and legal expert Andris Kulbergs highlighted ongoing issues with Russian and Belarusian vehicles violating Latvian traffic laws. He noted about 104,000 unpaid traffic fines amounting to approximately €10 million, primarily involving Russian vehicles. Despite a ban on free movement for Russian cars in Latvia effective from February 15, 2024, Belarusian cars were not included. Kulbergs criticized the Ministry of Justice for delays in implementing solutions for inevitable fines and payment mechanisms, which were expected by December 31, 2023, but remain unresolved. He urged the immediate installation of bank terminal devices in police cars to promptly check and enforce unpaid fines at border crossing points, similar to measures recently adopted by Finland.
