SOME ROADS IN CROATIA CLOSED DUE TO FARMERS' DEMONSTRATIONS

ZAGREB, June 28 (Hina) - A few roads in Croatia remained closed for traffic on Monday morning due to farmers' protest which began on Saturday. These roads are: D4 or the Zagreb-Lipovac highway which is blocked at the 416th kilometres at Zelengaj; D7 or the Vrpolje-Sikirevci road and a local road No.4218 blocked in the village of Gundinci; D28 or the Djurdjevac-Zagreb road blocked in the village of Trojstveni Markovac; a local road blocked in the village of Kapela and other local roads, the Croatian Auto Club (HAK) reported. That's why drivers will not be able to use directions from Bjelovar toward Daruvar, Krizevci and Djurdjevac. The Miholjac border crossing toward Hungary as well as two border crossings toward Bosnia - Zupanja and Svilaj - cannot also be used. Traffic has been impeded on the road at Vratno near Varazdin, which leads toward the Dubrava Krizovljanska and Ormoz border passes with Slovenia. In addition, traffic cannot run via the Trnovec border pass. Lorries and cars with cargo are being directed from Dubrava Krizovljanska to the border crossing called Macelj. Traffic is normal on other roads in Croatia, the same source said. Safety of the bridge Gunja-Brcko across the Sava river will be checked between one and four o'clock tomorrow afternoon (June 29) and between nine o'clock and noon on June 30 and during those periods cars will not be allowed to drive over this bridge, the HAK added.
