Protesting workers of Bulgaria's troubled steel-maker Kremikovtzi have briefly blocked roads outside Sofia, obstructing the traffic going towards the Hemus motorway.
On Wednesday the workers declared civil disobedience, as according to them PM Sergey Stanishev failed once again to come out with a clear plan for solving the problems in the biggest Bulgarian steel mill.
Stanishev met Wednesday with trade union leaders, who announced the Premier pledged delayed workers' salaries would be paid in the next ten days.
More than 2000 Kremikovtzi workers protested downtown Sofia before noon on Wednesday. They arrived with 70 buses causing enormous traffic jams in the central boulevards of the capital.
Apart from paying of their salaries, the workers also demand that the government present a plan for the future of the factory, and actual negotiations with investors are started.
