Local inspection at Klingenbach in Burgenland: the traffic jams at the still open border crossings are initially manageable. However, that can change on Monday.
Location Border Klingenbach on Saturday afternoon: There are always small traffic jams and delays upon arrival. The cars that come from Hungary are diverted and must drive carpets that are soaked in anthrose acid before they can continue their journey. Some drivers stop briefly and address the police officers.
Exact controls
Time and again, white vans are fished from traffic and checked more accurately. The import of animal products and living animals is not allowed, explains deputy governor Anja Haider-Wallner at the local inspection. No vehicle has been rejected yet.
Limits also blocked for pedestrians
A total of 21 small border crossings have been closed since Saturday – also for pedestrians and cyclists, such as Lieutenant -Kolonel Helmut Marban of the directorate of the State Police. Haider-Wallner also appeals to the dogs not to run free along the border, because they can relieve the game unnecessarily.
Bundesher employed
By Saturday evening, all open transitions in the North and Middle Burgenland will be equipped with epidemics, according to the Staatsvice. From that moment on, the federal army should also be used in the course of the assistance mission in the border crossings highway, said it in Klingenbach.
Cut expects from Monday
Nickelsdorf has three lanes with epidemics, Kittsee over two. According to Gerald Bhardt, head of the construction and operational center north of the building drectorate, there will be no expansion. Since a higher traffic frequency at the open transitions is expected from Monday, request for possible waiting times and discomfort. “We are currently in a kind of crisis situation,” said Gebhardt.
Measure against Spread
For Haider-Wallner, the epidemic carpets are an important measure to reduce the chance to spread the mouth and diseases diseases. How efficient they are cannot be said with certainty. About 1000 liters of solution will be applied to a carpet within twelve hours. “Together we can save thousands of animals and turn the lives of agriculture,” called Haider-Wallner to do without non-necessary trips to Hungary or Slovakia.
