The demonstration ended in Heroes’ Square at 8 p.m.

On Friday, the ministry said that an agreement had been reached with haulier organizations, adding that the government and hauliers saw eye to eye that international transit should be directed to motorways to increase traffic safety and reduce the inconvenience for residents.
