Estonia has seen nearly 600 violations at the Narva border crossing with Russia since implementing full customs checks in August. Despite a slight decrease in daily violations, travellers are still transporting goods in short supply in Russia, such as spare parts for cars and machinery. The closure of the Narva crossing to vehicles has led to concerns about further restrictions at other crossing points. Tensions between Estonia and Russia remain high, with authorities warning of potential closure of the border at short notice. This comes after Finland closed its border with Russia last year due to similar concerns. Estonian officials are advising against all travel to Russia and caution that the border may need to be closed to protect national security and public order. As the situation continues to unfold, travellers between the two countries may face increasing difficulties in crossing the border.
