Albania: Activists to demonstrate near Thumane Sept. 6
Activists to protest at former roundabout near Thumane, Albania, from 18:00 Sept. 6; heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to protest at the site of the former Thumane roundabout on the A1 (Thumane-Kashar) highway near Thumane from 18:00 Sept. 6. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand the construction of local highway entrances and exits to allow traffic to directly flow between the route and nearby towns. Previous related demonstrations have drawn hundreds of participants and seen protesters disrupt traffic on the A1 highway.
Heightened security and transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Demonstration participants will likely attempt to halt traffic on the A1 highway. Clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement officers are possible.
Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Consider taking alternative routes to circumvent the vicinity of the demonstration and any related disruptions. Allow additional time for travel if operating near Thumane. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
