Slovenia on Friday halted access
from Italy for all heavy vehicles without Slovenian number
plates amid the coronavirus emergency.
The ban concerns trucks weighing more than 3.5 tonnes.
Vehicles with Italian plates carrying perishable goods can
enter Slovenia if they are stopping there and not driving
through.
Slovenia said the measure had been taken to avoid bottlenecks
and tailbacks.
The Italian foreign ministry said it was having "intense"
contacts with Slovenian authorities to get the ban lifted.
Long tailbacks were reported at the Slovenian border.
