The border crossing point Kulata – Promahon between Bulgaria and Greece is closed again Saturday over the protesting Greek farmers’ blockade.
The blockade is in its 20th day and 200 tractor-trailers are reported to be waiting in line.
Until 6 pm Friday, buses and cars were let trough, but the check point has been completely closed for trucks. Part of the truck drivers already left for the other border crossing point at Ilinden – Eksohi after the farmers there announced they are terminating their protests.
