As of July 15, all public gatherings and public protests will be allowed in St. Mark's Square, according to amendments to the law on public assembly which the government sent to parliament from its session on Wednesday.

The changes envisage that gatherings and protests may be held within a 10-metre diameter of the government, parliament and Constitutional Court buildings, with a maximum 1,500 participants, and they may take place between 8am and 10pm.

This area will be adequately marked.

Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic said that with these amendments the ruling coalition was fulfilling its election promise.
