“The State Police guarantees the right to assembly, the rights and freedoms of participants in assemblies, but without infringing the free movement of citizens and vehicles.

“Based on the object of the request made for the development of gatherings on some road axes, the State Police has replied to the organizers that it undertakes the guarantee of gatherings that do not block the free movement of vehicles and citizens.

“Blocking road axes is a criminal offense provided for by Article 293 of the Criminal Code, and anyone who takes action to block roads will face the consequences of violating this article,” the police said in the announcement.

The State Police appeals once again for law enforcement and respect for the free movement of citizens and vehicles, during the hours of gatherings.
