Drivers and their employers decided to stage the blockade despite the Sunday decision of the Bulgarian Association of International Transport Carriers to not organize it until the bilateral meeting between Bulgarian and Turkey, planned for February 21, is held.
However, smaller transport companies argue that their trucks have been already blocked at the border for 10 days and they cannot wait this long as the huge incurred losses will push them to bankruptcies.
