Hauliers and lorry drivers ended the protest at Kulata border crossing on 29th of May after talks with the border authorities who agreed to meet most of their demands.

The transport workers protested over the kilometres long queues and slow work of border authorities. There was no blockade of traffic.

The Customs Agency and Border Police have promised that three lanes for lorries will be operational at the checkpoint as well as three weigh stations which will work non-stop. The head of police in the city of Serres, Greece has promised that by 12th of June, the second lane on the Greek side, which is currently under repair, will start working and a third one may be opened if necessary.

By then, a police officer on the Bulgarian side and one on the Greek side will be assigned to regulate the traffic to prevent road accidents and ensure safety of the ttraffic.

The head of Southwest customs house assured that all weighing scales will be operational. As regards the demand about displays on the scales, he commented that funding needed to be found in order to purchase them.

The protest at the Kulata border crossing was peaceful and there were not unrests. The drivers said they would not continue the protest for now, but if the measures were not carried out within the promised deadlines, they would block the border.
