Opposition activists to rally at Hodzovo Square in Bratislava, Slovakia, 18:00 April 11; heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Opposition activists affiliated with the Democrats (Demokrati) party plan to protest at Hodzovo Square (Hodzovo Namestie) in Bratislava from 18:00 April 11. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce the political platforms of Prime Minister Robert Fico and President-elect Peter Pellegrini. The number of people that may participate in the demonstration was not immediately clear.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near Hodzovo Square in the afternoon or later. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
