North Macedonia: Activists to conduct protest march in Skopje March 7
Activists to march in central Skopje, North Macedonia, from 17:30 March 7. Heightened security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to demonstrate in Skopje on March 7. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce a planned construction project. Participants assemble at the Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul on Bulevard Makedonska Vojska at 17:30 before marching to the construction site, which is located at the intersection of Bulevard Partizanski Odredi and Aco Shopov. It is unclear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely along the march route. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or frustrated motorists cannot be ruled out.
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 of any security disturbance.
