The caretaker government has decided that the state should take control of fruit and vegetable imports at the border with Turkey at Kapitan Andreevo, former deputy agriculture minister Ivan Hristanov told BNR.

The disputes between Eurolab 2011 (provider of phytosanitary control services at the Capitan Andreevo checkpoint - ed.) and the Food Safety Agency over who should unload, load and test the imports caused a long queue of trucks at the border crossing.

Kilometre-long queues of heavy trucks are also waiting to cross the border at the Danube Bridge in Ruse, BNR reported. The delays are sparking protests. The reason for the congestion is heavy traffic, the need for a third bridge over the Danube, the suspension of ferries due to the low level of the river and poor road infrastructure.
