Event

Further protests are likely in Chisinau until the end of June following anti-government protests on June 19, when thousands gathered to demand the resignation of President Maia Sandu amid inflation and rising commodity prices.

Additional police will be deployed to monitor protests that occur. Gatherings are likely in public squares and near government buildings. The protests and related security measures, including possible road closures and movement restrictions, will likely lead to localized transport disruptions in the region. Protests are likely to pass peacefully, although isolated clashes between police and demonstrators cannot be ruled out, particularly if activists attempt to breach security cordons.

Tips

Avoid all protests as a routine safety measure and to mitigate associated disruptions. Heed the instructions of the security forces and leave the area at the first sign of a confrontation. Check for disruptions and allow extra time to travel to the affected area over the next few weeks.
