Petrol station owners in Kilkis prefecture of extreme northern Greece on Monday held a "symbolic blockade" of the Evzoni border post on the frontier with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (fYRoM), in protest to a recent government decision to allow the reopening of duty-free stations at three border posts.
Similar mobilisations are being considered by petrol station owners in Ioannina prefecture and Evros prefecture, which border with opposite Albanian and Turkish territories, respectively.
Duty-free gas at border stations costs significantly less than gasoline sold at regular stations.
