Greek authorities have reported that protesting farmers who blocked Monday the E79 international road near the Promahon border check point with Bulgaria have lifted the blockade.

Currently, the situation at the Bulgarian-Greek border is normal and vehicles freely pass through the Kulata-Promahon checkpoint, border services said.

It is unknown whether the protest is to be renewed. Many drivers prefer to enter Greece through the Ilinden border checkpoint or through Macedonia.
