Most of the crossing points on the Bulgaria-Greece border are currently open to all traffic after the protesting Greek farmers lifted their blockade during the night.

The Greek farmers will meet later on Friday in Thessaloniki to decide how to move ahead with their protests.

On Thursday, Greece made the commitment to solve the problem with the Greek farmers' blockades after Energy, Economy and Tourism Minister, Traicho Traikov, held talks with the Greek Deputy Energy Minister.

The blockade has lasted for 11 days so far. According to estimates, Bulgarian businesses have lost at least EUR 3 M a day over the protests.
