Bosnia and Herzegovina - taxi strikes in Sarajevo

Taxi strike are expected today in Sarajevo. 

Thousands of taxi drivers are set to strike in Bosnia and Herzegovina's capital, Sarajevo, today.  In addition, a number of taxi drivers will stage a demonstration outside the Parliamentary Assembly in the Marijin Dvor area of central Sarajevo.

The drivers will join demonstrators who are already gathered in front of the Parliamentary Assembly to protest at the lack of a permanent law on national identification numbers.

The strike action is expected to lead to a shortage of taxis and an increased demand for alternative modes of transport.

RPS Partnership advises clients and travellers to use other means of transport in the city today and be prepared for transport disruptions in central Sarajevo.  Be cautious of bogus taxi firms cashing in on the upheaval.
