Farmers and students plan to protest at Slavija Square, Belgrade, from 16:00 Dec. 22. Students from multiple faculties in the city's university will demonstrate to support farmers, and to demand increased investment in the sector. It is possible that several hundred protestors will take part in the event.
It is possible that farmers will drive tractors and other agricultural vehicles to the demonstration. In that event, the slow-moving convoys will likely prompt significant traffic disruptions.
Police will likely deploy to monitor and facilitate the demonstration and to mitigate any disruptions. The protest and associated security measures will likely prompt road travel disruptions and increased congestion throughout the area. The protest will likely pass off peacefully.
