Blockade of trucks to North Macedonia lifted, but that on Serbian border remains

The blockade of trucks between Bulgaria and North Macedonia has been lifted. Protests by hauliers from North Macedonia have been suspended at all border crossings. They began on Monday over the full implementation of the "entry-exit" system adopted by the EU in 2017.

The decision to suspend the protest by the "Makam-Trans" Association came after the Minister of Transport in Skopje, Aleksandar Nikoloski, announced on Facebook that Brussels would adopt a visa strategy that would solve the problem of professional drivers.

The protest has also been suspended in Montenegro, but continues in Serbia. Trucks are not allowed to pass through all border crossings with Bulgaria on Serbian territory. The movement of cars and buses in both directions has not been stopped, the Border Police reported.
