Hotel and restaurant owners from Bulgarian Black Sea resort of Sunny Beach blocked the road between major cities of Varna and Burgas in protest over regulations by the company managing the resorts.
The 500 protesters demanded an immediate resignations of the management of the shareholder company owning the resort, and signed a petition for changing the company's policies.
Owners have been claiming that the company is charging undue and in some cases illegitimate fees for services and access to local infrastructure.
They have demanded in particular that the Sunny Beach infrastructure be transformed into public municipal property, instead of being left at the disposal of the company.
Friday foreign diplomats led by ambassadors to Sofia of key European countries intervened to call upon Bulgarian authorities to curb all illegal activities, including collection of charges, taking place in Sunny Beach.
The protests of hotel and restaurant owners started Monday, when they blocked the main access road to the resort. Saturday they staged a 30-minute blockade of the road linking the largest Bulgarian Black Sea cities, Varna and Burgas.
