Smugglers use balloons to illegally carry cigarettes form Belarus to Lithuania and those balloons disturb the traffic at Vilnius airport! Vincent Lambercy discusses this with Saulius Batavicius, the CEO of Lithuanian ANSP Oro navigacija. Is this only smuggling or is there more behind that?

Saulius also discusses how the ANSP works in the Borealis alliance and also with iTEC for the technical side. He explains how to improve ATCO mobility and get other benefits from such international collaborations.
