Valjevo police have prohibited an announced rally of war veterans on Sunday, who were expected to block the Belgrade-Bar highway in protest. In Saturday night’s statement from the Interior Ministry, it was said that the rally was prohibited “based on the total security evaluation that traffic obstruction would occur, and that the safety of people and property could also be at risk during the gathering.” Veterans’ rally prohibited in Valjevo Protest leader Ljubomir Bradic said earlier that he did not agree to refrain from blocking the highway at the last meeting with city and police officials.
