Bulgarian milk producers across the country are to protest again on Friday against unpaid subsidies by blocking roads and staging rallies.

Farmers from the region of Vratsa said they are to block the Vratsa - Oryahovo main road for 45 minutes today.

The protesters call on the government to provide a subsidy of BGN 0,20 per litre of milk produced, as well as EUR 140 one time financial support per animal a year.

The government announced that they are ready to provide BGN 60 M to fulfil the demands of the farmers but said that a notification from the EC is needed before the money reaches the milk producers.

"We will end our protests immediately as soon as the government fulfils its promises," Chair of the National Association of Milk Producers, Adrian Tsakonski declared.
