A 'green zone" in which protests
are banned will be set up around parliament when it convenes
Friday, sources said Wednesday.
The zone will be set up Thursday evening at 19:00 and will be
in force until Saturday at 13:00.
It will cover a large part of Rome's historic centre.
Its aim is to avert disruption to the sitting of parliament
and its first session to elect Speakers in both houses, sources
said.
Anti-terrorism police and army units will patrol the area
around Montecitorio on Saturday and all CCTV cameras will be
hooked up to a single system to keep the zone under close watch,
sources said.
