Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev and Minister of Interior Kalin Stoyanov discussed with representatives of the border authorities measures for faster passing of vehicles through the border checkpoint of Kulata on the border with Greece. The prime minister said that temporary measures were necessary until the country was accepted in Schengen by land. One is to divide the flow of vehicles into those from Member States and those from third countries as the checks are different. The other idea is to use temporary road signs to limit the speed at the end of the highway, so that vehicles do not cause traffic jams.

The Minister of Interior, Kalin Stoyanov, said that the Greek border authorities were working on the so-called eased checks to allow cars to pass more quickly. He added that an average of about 5,000 vehicles pass through the Kulata-Promachonas checkpoint per day.
