Serbia: Educators plan to conduct protest march in Novi Sad Dec. 12
Educators to march from Mihajlo Pupin School to Banovina Palace in Novi Sad, Serbia, from 12:00 on Dec. 12. Transport disruptions likely.
Unionized educators plan to march from Mihajlo Pupin Electrotechnical School on Futoska Ulica to Banovina Palace on Bulevar Mihajla Pupina in Novi Sad from 12:00 on Dec. 12. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand increased salaries; the procession corresponds with a rotating low-level walkout nationwide. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend.
Law enforcement officers will likely deploy along the march route to facilitate the procession. The movement of protesters will likely disrupt vehicular traffic. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest route. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
