Bosnia and Herzegovina: Activists to conduct protest march in Banja Luka Oct. 20

Event

Activists plan to hold a protest march in Banja Luka from 17:30 Oct. 20 to demand increased government support for military veterans. Participants will gather at Mladen Stojanovic Park before marching to Trg Krajine to hold a rally. It is unclear how many participants may attend.

Localized transport disruptions and heightened security are likely along the march route. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or frustrated motorists cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the march route. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance could occur.
