Hundreds of farmers from all over Greece are expected to gather in the capital for a large-scale protest on Friday and Saturday.

They have staged blockades on border checkpoints with neighbouring countries and on main motorways and roads in the interior of the country.
The checkpoints along the Bulgarian-Greek border have been heavily affected by the blockades, with disruptions to traffic set to continue on Friday.
