The US embassy in Kosovo warned on 12 November that protests in central Pristina are expected to continue in the coming weeks, with crowds likely to gather mainly in the city centre. The embassy said demonstrations could escalate quickly and spread to nearby areas with little warning, and that increased police presence, road closures and traffic diversions are expected around protest times; it advised US citizens to stay vigilant and its own staff to avoid large gatherings.
