Razor wire decorated and cut in protest in south-east

Kostel, 20 December - Some 300 people took part in a march along the razor wire fence on the border with Croatia on the Kolpa river in the south-east of the country on Saturday to protest against what locals see as an obstacle for tourism. The march was accompanied by kayakers and rafters making a short trip down the river.
