Event

Opposition parties from Republika Srpska have called for a protest march from Mladen Stojanovic Park towards Krajina Square in Banja Luka from 18:00 Oct. 9. Participants intend to denounce alleged irregularities with the general election, which occurred Oct. 2. Hundreds to a few thousand people may participate in the march.

Authorities will likely monitor the protest march and may try to disperse the gathering if it is especially disruptive. Clashes between protesters and police are possible. Localized transport disruptions are likely near Mladen Stojanovic Park and Krajina Square, as well as along and near roadways on the march route.
