Traffic in both directions was blocked after 1 PM local time. The Bulgarian border authorities have informed their Greek counterparts that gendarmerie units are on their way to the road block. Interior Ministry Secretary General Georgi Kostov is also on his way to the checkpoint on the Bulgarian side – Kulata.
