Greek Farmers End Blockade of Major Bulgaria Border Crossing

Greek farmers are terminating the blockade of the Ilinden-Eksohi crossing point on the Bulgaria-Greece border.

This has been announced by the Greek border authorities which notified the border police in Bulgaria’s Ilinden that the farmers in the Northern Greece district of Drama have ended.

Thus, the farmers have started to pull out their tractors and other agricultural vehicles from the border crossing point. This has led to intensification of the traffic there.

However, the major Bulgaria-Greece border crossing point – Kulata-Promahonas – still remains closed. According to information from the Greek police, the blockade at Kulata-Promahonas is going to continue until Sunday.

The protesting Greek farmers have been blockading the major Bulgarian border crossing points with demands for higher agricultural prices, which has incurred immense economic losses to Bulgaria.
