Road construction and maintenance companies are putting an end to their protests, the Chief Executive Officer at Branch Chamber "Roads" Stefan Chaikov said. For the third day in a row, the protesters gathered in front of the National Assembly building for the third consecutive day because of overdue payments for already completed works. They are calling on the state to pay them EUR 260 million. 

The road builders are also demanding indexation of construction contracts to compensate for inflation. Only the Constitutional Court can resolve the issue, Chaikov said. "Bulgaria’s President Rumen Radev is expected to appoint a caretaker cabinet next Tuesday. Later, we will seek dialogue with the new caretaker Minister of Regional Development and Public Works and try to resolve all the problems", Stefan Chaikov said further.
