Trakia motorway, the Pass of the Republic and road section in the region of Gurkovo of the Sofia-Burgas road south of the Balkan Range remain closed to traffic.

He once again invited the protesters to come to the Council of Ministers, so an “in-depth discussion” can take place, as many of them do not comprehend the substance of the plans and how they can help them.
