Bulgaria: Metro workers to demonstrate in central Sofia March 15
Metro workers to protest in front of Metropolitan EAD headquarters in Sofia, Bulgaria, from 11:00 March 15. Transport disruptions likely.
Metro employees plan to protest at the Metropolitan EAD headquarters in Sofia from 11:00 on March 15 to demand wage increases. Organizers threatened to block both entrances to the nearby Serdika metro station; however, no further details have been released.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Metropolitan EAD headquarters and Serdika Station. Though unlikely, confrontations between demonstrators, law enforcement officers, or frustrated commuters cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected areas as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site. Confirm the operating status of the Serdika Station before travel. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of a security disturbance.
