Bulgaria: Activists to demonstrate in Sofia on March 17
Pro-Ukraine activists to protest at Russian Embassy in Sofia, Bulgaria, from 17:00 March 17. Heightened security likely.
Pro-Ukrainian activists plan to protest at the Russian Embassy on Nikola Mirchev Street in Sofia from 17:00 March 17. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce the holding of Russian elections in Russian-controlled areas of Ukraine. It is unknown how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the affected area. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
