Slovakia: Opposition activists to demonstrate in Bratislava and Kosice on March 15
Opposition activists to protest in Bratislava and Kosice, Slovakia, on March 15. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Opposition activists plan to protest in Bratislava and Kosice from 18:00 on March 15. The purpose of the planned actions is to denounce the ruling government's alleged anti-democratic policy moves. Demonstrators will gather at Freedom Square (Namestie Slobody) in Bratislava and the Lower Gate (Dolna Brana) inside Freedom Square in Kosice. It is unclear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near demonstration sites. Low-level confrontations between protesters and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protests as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the demonstration sites. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
