Sofia's transport workers will not agree to a salary increase lower than BGN 300, said Ivan Kirilov, Chair of the Federation of Transport Workers with the Podkrepa Confederation of Labour and BSP for Bulgaria  municipal councillor. Speaking to bTV on Friday, he added that the protest is not demanding any resignations.

Confederation of Independent Trade Unions of Bulgaria Vice President Todor Kapitanov said that there is no way to counter salary increases with buying new buses. He explained that the salaries cited by the City's management are earned because some drivers work 27 days a month.

Kapitanov added that there is also a risk that the metro will stop.
