Chisinau 15 February /MOLDPRES/ - The Foreign and European Integration Ministry (MAEIE) informs the Moldovan citizens intending to travel to/cross Greece that local farmers continue the protests started on 9 February 2016, blocking the national roads and highways for an indefinite period, including the ones connected to the border checkpoints/customs points of Greece, the MAEIE information and media communication service has reported.

Thus, the following roads have been blocked:

The Tempi Valley border checkpoint, Larissa region (Athens-Thessaloniki highway);

The Kipi customs checkpoint at the border with Turkey;

The Promachonas border checkpoint at the frontier with Bulgaria.
