Montenegro: Activists blocking M2.3 highway near Cetinje until 16:00 April 8
Activists blocking M2.3 highway east of Cetinje, Montenegro, until 16:00 April 8. Heightened security likely.
Activists are blocking the M2.3 highway east of Cetinje until 16:00 on April 8. The demonstrators are former factory workers who are demanding back wages. It is unclear how many participants are in attendance; however, previous related demonstrations appeared to draw several dozen protesters.
Continued disruptions are likely on the M2.3 near Cetinje through the evening. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or frustrated motorists cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Seek alternate routes to avoid the blockade until late afternoon or early evening. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
