The protest took place on Saturday at Ban Josip Jelenić Square in Zagreb, with the event organised by the 'Gospa' association. Participants gathered to voice their views, with some arriving by bus from Lika, Dalmatia, and Banija. The protest lasted several hours, during which time traffic was disrupted on the square as the demonstration took place.
During the protest, emergency services attended to six incidents. Two people were taken to hospital, and one individual was admitted after collapsing. The remaining incidents were less serious, though they highlighted the need for caution and care during such events. Zagreb police did not intervene, indicating that the protest proceeded without major incidents.
The protest was held to express dissent on specific issues, with participants using various methods of expression, including placards, speeches, and other forms of demonstration. Although the protest was largely peaceful, there were moments of tension that required the presence of police and emergency services.
The event highlighted the importance of democratic rights and freedom of expression, as well as the need for responsible conduct from all participants. Protests are a key part of democratic society, but they must be conducted in a manner that does not compromise public order and peace. In this instance, the protest proceeded without major incident, which is positive news for all participants and residents of Zagreb.
