Balkan Truckers Threaten to Block EU Border Crossings

Hundreds of truckers from Western Balkan nations protested on August 31 against EU rules limiting their stay in the Schengen zone to 90 days, threatening to block border crossings with the EU on September 14 if demands for an exemption are not met. The drivers argue the restrictions cut their working time nearly in half, making it impossible to support their families.
