In the given situation you encounter the sign “Intersection of roads”, this sign warns you that an uncontrolled 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 intersections that are not controlled by traffic lights or by traffic police officers, you are obliged to signal your presence by alternately switching the low‑beam headlights (short beam) with the high‑beam headlights (long beam).
This type of signalling cannot be carried out if another vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction from at least 200 meters, so as not to disturb it with the high‑beam light (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 alternately switching the low‑beam headlights (short beam) with the high‑beam headlights (long beam).

Regulation** - Article 114

(2) At night, when two vehicles approaching from opposite directions get closer, their drivers are obliged that from a distance of at least 200 m to use the low‑beam headlights simultaneously with reducing the speed. When the driver of a motor vehicle, agricultural or forestry tractor approaches a motor vehicle that is travelling in front of him, he is obliged to use the low‑beam headlights 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 uncontrolled by light signals or by traffic police officers are obliged to signal by alternately using the low‑beam headlights with the high‑beam headlights if by doing so they do not violate the provisions of paragraph (2).
