Protesting Greek Buses Close Albanian Border in Kakavia

More than 60 Greek long-distance intercity buses (KTEL) gathered in Kakavia at theĀ  Greek-Albanian border to protest the government’s decision allowing Albanian inter-city buses to enter Greece without paying any taxes as Greek bus owners do and said they would bar buses from the neighboring country from entering or leaving.
Bus owners of Epirus’ four prefectures, Preveza, Arta, Thesprotia and Ioannina,Ā  headed close to the borders early in the morningĀ  of Sept. 8 to show their disapproval ofĀ  the government’s policy.
The President of the Intercity Buses of Ioannina, Gregory Gikas, said that bus owners would remain at the border to block Albanian buses from entering or leaving Greece and vowed to stay until the tax policy is changed. The route to and from destinations in Albania is popular because of the large number of Albanian immigrants in Greece.
