Milk producers in Bulgaria will block on Wednesday between 12 pm and 6pm three customs points at the border with Romania. They will organize a protest as they are dissatisfied with the milk and meat imports from the EU. Thus, the Ruse Giurgiu bridge and the Ruse Silistra national road will be shut down between 12pm to 4pm and the Vidin Calafat and Rahova Bechet ferry boats will be closed between 12pm to 10pm.

Romania's customs officials recommends all drivers to use the Portile de Fier I passing point. Sources from the Bulgarian Interior ministry, quoted by Radio Romania Actualitati declared that road blockages are illegal and police forces will intervene even if mayors in Ruse and Vidin approved the protests.
