North Macedonia: University-affiliated activists to demonstrate in Skopje March 21
University-affiliated activists to rally at Government of North Macedonia building in Skopje from 12:00 March 21; increased security likely.
Activists affiliated with the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering (FINKI) at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University plan to protest at the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia building on Boulevard Ilinden in Skopje from 12:00 March 21. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand improved study facilities for students. The number of people who may participate in the protest was not immediately clear.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia building. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
