Greek farmers are set to close the Ilinden-Exochi crossing and other checkpoints on the border between Bulgaria and Greece on Monday amid continuing protests over their government's plans for reform to the pension system.
Movement has been free both ways at Ilinden-Exochi since late on Sunday evening, border police say, but the crossing will be closed to all trafic at 10:00 local time (EET).
