The U.S. Embassy Pristina informs U.S. citizens that protests are expected to take place at Zahir Pajaziti Square, beginning at 1400 on November 3 (today). Protestors may gather at Zahir Pajaziti square and move in the direction to the Embassy of Macedonia. Traffic disruptions are expected in the downtown area and may affect other areas of the city. We anticipate the size of the protest to be approximately between 150 and 200 people.
Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can become confrontational and escalate into violence. You should avoid areas of demonstrations, and exercise caution if in the vicinity of any large gatherings, protests, or demonstrations.
