A protest organized by the National Association of Bulgarian Vinegrowers temporarily blocked 5 major roads in the country. They insist that subsidies increase from EUR 15 to EUR 150 per 0.1 hectare, as in other EU countries. The protesters are also demanding the resignation of the Director of the Executive Agency on Vine and Wine, Krasimir Koev.
