[01] Bulgarian interior minister expresses concern for possible Greek
farmers' blockades
Bulgarian Interior Minister Rumyana Bachvarova expressed her concern
for a possible road blockade at the borders by Greek farmers in a letter
to Alternate Minister for Civil Protection Nikos Toskas, media in Sofia
reported on Wednesday.
In her letter, Bachvarova cites among others, an agreement reached at
a meeting of the Supreme Greece-Bulgaria Cooperation Council, according
to which the governments of the two countries would take precautionary
measures to avoid creating tension at the borders.
At the same time, representatives of transport associations in Sofia
stated that if Greek farmers block border crossings they will retaliate
by blocking every road that leads to Greece. A similar action had been
taken by Bulgarian transporters last year when Greek farmers closed
border crossings.
