Representatives of the transport sector are to protest tomorrow against the high fuel prices, the tolling system and the lack of state policy in the sector. One hundred buses and three hundred cargo vehicles will be parked in front of the Council of Ministers, the National Assembly and the Bulgarian National Bank. A protest rally will also take place.

 Similar protests will also take place in other big cities. The carriers insist that the state abolishes the bio components in fuels for a period of 6 months. They also call on the authorities to halve excise taxes on fuels, etc. The representatives of the transport sector are planning a national protest if their demands are not met by May 18.
