Bratislava, January 31 (TASR) - Protesting hauliers will go back to one of Bratislava's traffic arteries - Roznavska Street - on Monday, Jaroslav Polacek from the Union of Slovak Hauliers (UNAS) informed at a briefing on Sunday.
"Roznavska Street is where the protest of the hauliers has started (with a blockade). We're returning there determined to continue, because the promises (given to hauliers by Government) haven't been fulfilled," stressed Polacek.
UNAS has declared a country-wide strike, asking the public for solidarity and support. "We won't restrict you, but we have to react to the unacceptable worsening of the conditions, which don't only touch us, but touch all Slovak people," he explained to the public.
Representatives of UNAS refused to provide more details concerning the strike. "You'll see us, but we won't block or restrict drivers," Polacek assured, adding that the strike will start at midnight Sunday and will be mainly concentrated in Bratislava and Kosice.
