The Ministry of Internal Affairs has announced increased security measures for Saturday, supplementing the number of gendarmes for the concert of rapper Max Korzh, which will take place at the National Arena and is expected to attract over 42,000 spectators from more than 50 countries.

The Romanian Gendarmerie has announced that police and gendarmerie crews will be assisted by service animals, including dogs specialized in detecting prohibited substances.

Additionally, over 400 ISU firefighters will be present on site, alongside teams of doctors and SMURD ambulances.

On the day of the concert, several streets in the area of the National Arena will be closed, and authorities recommend that participants use public transport and arrive on time.

The gendarmerie has warned that it will not tolerate any violations of legal norms, and police have intensified checks on access routes to Bucharest. The incident the previous night, in which Ukrainian fans clashed with Romanian motorcyclists, led to the forced intervention of the authorities.

Bulevardul Pierre de Coubertin, between 8 AM and 11 PM, from Strada Vatra Luminoasă to the entrance of the stadium;

Bulevardul Tony Bulandra, starting at 2 PM, will be gradually closed until the end of the concert;
