Bosnia and Herzegovina: Activists to protest in Sarajevo Sept. 7

Event

Activists plan to protest in central Sarajevo Sept. 7 to denounce proposed changes to electoral law. Participants will gather outside the Office of the High Representative (OHR) from 17:30; attendance will likely be in the hundreds.

Additional police will deploy to monitor the action. Large crowds and associated security measures, including possible road closures and movement restrictions, will likely prompt localized transport disruptions in the surrounding area. The action is likely to be peaceful, though isolated clashes between protesters and police cannot be ruled out, particularly if activists attempt to breach any security cordons.

Advice

Avoid the protest 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. Check for disruptions and allow extra time for travel in the affected area the evening of Sept. 7.
