Event

Large vehicle operators plan to protest high fuel prices in Sofia April 27. Activists will gather at Tsarigradsko Shose at 08:00 before driving towards the city center. The demonstration is likely to be well attended.

Additional police will deploy to monitor the action. The protest, related security measures, and the arrival of a large number of large vehicles including trucks, buses, and heavy vehicles will likely cause transport disruptions through the morning of April 27. Isolated clashes between protesters and police cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid the demonstration as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Heed instructions from security services and leave the area at the first sign of a confrontation. Allow extra time for travel in the surrounding area through April 27.
