Montenegro: Activists to block M2.3 highway near Cetinje April 26, 28

Activists to block M2.3 highway east of Cetinje, Montenegro, April 26 and 28. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.

Warning

Activists plan to block the M2.3 highway east of Cetinje on April 26 and 28. The demonstrators are former factory workers who are demanding back wages. Participants will block the roadway 11:00-16:00 on April 26 and 12:00-15:00 April 28. Demonstrators have gathered to block the M2.3 highway east of Cetinje at least once a week since late February. It is unclear how many participants may attend; however, previous related demonstrations appeared to draw several dozen protesters.

Heightened security and transport disruptions are likely on the M2.3 near Cetinje during the protest hours and may continue for several hours after protesters disperse. 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. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
