We have been wandering in the queues for 2 days. Neither the Bulgarian side is working nor the Turkish side is working. We are being disgraced here. It is not clear how long we will wait. But 2 days, but 3 days. There are still 20 kilometers to the door. If they work, we can make it in 2 shifts, otherwise we will not be able to catch up. You are asking the Bulgarian, the Bulgarian is the Turk." "You ask the Turk, the Turk says he doesn't. What can we do? We have no toilet on the road. Let's see where we will eat next.
