After a three-day blockade of the "Struma" highway, protesting energy workers from the "Bobov Dol" thermal power plant cleared the road, BNR correspondent in Kyustendil, Kiril Falin, has reported.
However, the blockade on the Trakia highway stays. This is what the protesting miners from "Maritsa-East" decided despite the agreement voted by the National Assembly. They call for the withdrawal of the Territorial Plans for just transition and new negotiations on the points of the agreement, BNR Stara Zagora has reported.
Prime Minister Nikolai Denkov called against the withdrawal of the plans. According to him, the reached agreement protects the interests of energy companies and miners.
