Dozens of trucks and more than 50 representatives of trade and transport companies as well as farmers have gathered to protest on both sides of the Ilinden-Exohi border crossing between Bulgaria and Greece.
Protesters are demanding that the border checkpoint, which is closed until August 31, be open to trucks.
