Bosnia and Herzegovina: Members of several unions to protest in Banja Luka, Sept. 29

Event

Members of six unions representing public medical, bureaucratic, and judicial workers plan to protest in Banja Luka from 12:00 Sept. 29. Action participants will rally at Mladen Stojanovic Park. The demonstration will likely last into the evening. It is unclear how many participants may attend.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the rally. State administration, such as judicial bureaucratic services, and medical care disruptions are likely across the city; emergency medical service disruptions are possible. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near Mladen Stojanovic Park. Reconfirm all medical or administrative appointments scheduled for Sept. 29. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
