The National Association of Bulgarian Business has warned that it was preparing to stage a blockade of the Bulgarian-Greek border on Monday.

The Association representatives say their blockade of the Kulata-Promahonas border crossing point will be in response to the intermittent border blockade imposed by the protesting Greek farmers since the beginning of January.

They have told the BNR that such measures were needed since the Greek farmers had been blocking the border for weeks with demands for agricultural prices.

The Association is increasingly concerned that the protests of the Greek farmers incur greater and greater losses to the Bulgarian economy. They have not specified how their planned counter-blockade would rectify the situation.
