Truckers Blockade EU Borders Over Visa Rules

Truckers Blockade EU Borders Over Visa Rules

Truck drivers in several countries are protesting because they can't stay in the EU for long enough to do their jobs.

They've blocked important roads and a big port in Montenegro.

This is causing problems because Montenegro gets most of its fuel through that port.

The government is worried there might not be enough fuel for very long.

They're asking people not to buy too much fuel so it lasts longer.

The protest is allowed to continue until Thursday afternoon.

The EU is working on a new plan to help truck drivers and other people who travel a lot for work.

The blockade is also stopping a lot of goods from being moved, which is costing a lot of money every day.
