Central Macedonia farmers on Tuesday said they had decided to continue their roadblock at the border crossing between Greece and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), on the Thessaloniki-Evzoni national road, until 18:00 on Wednesday. At that time they will hold a meeting to decide their next moves.

Protesting farmers and livestock breeders at the Central Macedonia roadblock arrived at the Evzones customs post on the border with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) on Monday afternoon, after breaking through a police cordon barring their way shortly after 16:30.
