Customs officials in Greece are set to begin a new three-day strike later Tuesday, which will stop traffic crossing the Bulgaria-Greece border.
Customs officers will protest against a reduction of allowances and bonuses for civil servants under the Greek government scheme to overcome the budgetary crisis in the country. The strike is expected to create serious problems in supplying the fuel to the local market.
