The 2011 Croatian protests were anti-government street protests in Croatia started on 22 February 2011, after a call to protest over the Internet, and continued almost daily. The protests brought together diverse political persuasions in response to recent government corruption scandals and worries regarding upcoming EU accession, and called for the resignation of Kosor and early elections. They were met by a violent police reaction and a ban on assembly in front of the Croatian Parliament in Zagreb. On 26 February, tens of thousands of protesters met in the Croatian capital Zagreb's Ban Jelačić Square to express their support for indicted Croatian War of Independence veterans and demand for Kosor's government to resign. Several dozen people were injured and arrested as anti-government protests degenerated into clashes with police.
