On 14 March 2025, Gymnasium 'Miloje Dobrasinovic' students and teachers protested in front of their school in Bijelo Polje, supporting their geography professor, whom the school security attempted to remove from holding a lecture. The event occurred when the teacher refused to use his vacation days and wanted to teach until the date for officially commencing his pension.

Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, students and teachers at a high school in Bijelo Polje, Montenegro held a demonstration supporting a geography professor, but this was a small-scale peaceful protest due to internal educational issues. As a school-level protest without political character, the direct risk level to supply chains is very low.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Bijelo Polje is a small city in northern Montenegro with limited connections to major logistics routes or industrial facilities
• As a peaceful education-related demonstration, there were no physical supply-chain disruptions such as road blockages, port operations suspension, or production facility shutdowns
• Minimal impact on Montenegro's overall political and economic stability, with no effects on cross-border trade or transit transportation
• No impact on raw material supply as this is a simple educational issue unrelated to regional mineral extraction or agricultural production

3) Watch points

• Monitor potential spread of similar education-related demonstrations or whether they become politicized
• Track trends and scale changes in social discontent expression in other regions within Montenegro
