Serbia: Activists to demonstrate in Novi Sad Jan. 8
Student activists to protest at High Court in Novi Sad, Serbia, from 11:00 Jan. 8. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Student activists plan to protest at the High Court on Sutjeska in Novi Sad from 11:00 Jan. 8. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand that executive branch officials refrain from politically pressuring the country's judiciary. It was not immediately clear how many people would participate in the protest.
Law enforcement officers will likely deploy nearby to facilitate the gathering. The presence of demonstrators will likely disrupt vehicular travel in the area. Confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or ideologically opposed individuals may occur.
Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
