The 2011 Croatian protests refer to the anti-government demonstrations in Croatia taking place concurrently with and in part in response to the 2010–2011 Middle East and North Africa protests. Street protests in Croatia started on 22 February 2011, after a call to protest over the Internet, and have continued almost daily^[1]. The protests have brought together diverse political persuasions in response to recent government corruption scandals and worries regarding upcoming EU accession, and are calling for the resignation of the Croatian Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor and early elections. They have been met by a violent police reaction and a ban on assembly in front of the Croatian Parliament on Zagreb's St. Mark's Square^[2]^[3]. As of 16 March the protests are ongoing and more are being planned^[4].
