The rally is part of a series of protests to be organized countrywide Monday.
 
Transporters decided to organize protests, as the Transports Ministry officials postponed signing the protocol eliminating road tolls, although the Ministry of Economy and Finance agreed to eliminate road tolls and collect the toll from fuel prices, following a meeting with transporters on April 1.  
 
The protocol includes 11 claims, among which the elimination of tolls for national roads, the elimination of all traffic restrictions for trucks, the cancelling of the car tax for Euro 4 and Euro 5 vehicles, a transparent collection of fuel excises and getting employers in the field of transports to monitor the use of these excises for road construction and maintenance.
