The 11th protest march through Zagreb, which began around 6 pm on Monday, for the first time did not stop in front of the homes of any politicians.

The main demand, apart from the usual one that the Jadranka Kosor Cabinet step down, was to let the protesters' representatives onto Croatian Television's prime time newscast, which did not happen.

This prompted about 3,000 protesters to block traffic on Slavonska Avenue in front of the broadcaster's building for more than half an hour, according to press. They were shouting "We want the truth" and "We don't want censorship" and saying that they were no one's political initiative and wanted a better Croatia with capable young people.

The protesters also supported protesting farmers.

As usual, they stopped in front of the headquarters of the ruling HDZ party, shouting "We won't give up", "Jaco, go away" - a reference to Kosor, and "The government is going down".

Police reported that one man was taken into custody for insulting the police.
