In the given situation you encounter the sign “Intersection of roads”, this sign warns you that an unregulated intersection of two roads of the same category follows. The road legislation obliges that when you drive at night or in conditions of reduced visibility through such an intersection, more precisely through the intersections that are not regulated by traffic lights or by traffic police officers, you are obliged to signal your presence by the alternating switching of the low beam lights (short beam) with the high beam lights (long beam).
This type of signalling cannot be performed when another vehicle approaches from the opposite direction from at least 200 meters, so as not to disturb it with the high beam (long beam), a light which is very strong.
Therefore, in the given situation you must wait for the truck to pass, after which you signal your presence by alternating the low beam lights (short beam) with the high beam lights (long beam).

Regulation** - Article 114

(2) At night, when two vehicles that travel from opposite directions approach each other, their drivers are obliged that from a distance of at least 200 m they use the low beam lights together with reducing the speed. When the driver of a motor vehicle, agricultural or forestry tractor approaches a motor vehicle traveling in front of him, he is obliged to use the low beam lights from a distance of at least 100 m.
(3) At night or in conditions of reduced visibility the drivers of motor vehicles, agricultural or forestry tractors and trams who approach an intersection not regulated by light signals or by traffic police officers are obliged to signal by the alternating use of the low beam lights with the high beam lights if they do not thus violate the provisions of paragraph (2).
