Latvia enacts law prohibiting Belarus-registered vehicles, requiring re-registration by 2024, to combat sanctions evasion and support Ukraine.

Latvia's Saeima has enacted amendments to the Road Traffic Law, prohibiting Belarus-registered vehicles from remaining in the country. These vehicles must be re-registered by October 31, 2024. Exceptions exist for mobility aids and certain family visits. Post-deadline, such vehicles can only transit through Latvia with prior approval. The law aims to mitigate sanctions evasion and bolster support for Ukraine amidst ongoing conflicts.
