French authorities are now more concerned about the threat of terrorism and the trade union strikes that paralyzed the country's transport infrastructure. There are fears that the protests of the railway workers may disrupt the start of Euro 2016 match between France and Romania. French President Francois Hollande warned the French trade union leaders not to take any attempts of strikes, stressing that the government will take all necessary measures to hold the championship without any incident.

Despite the great opportunity of public unrest in the country, the biggest threat to the Euro-2016 is terrorism. In the computer of the only survivor terrorist of Paris attacks information was found about preparing attacks during Euro-2016. The high probability of terrorist attacks during the Euro-2016 has recognized the president of France Hollande calling on citizens to be alert. For better understanding of the scale of the problem, it should be noted, that France has asked the countries participating in the championship to send their police to ensure the safety of their fans.
