"If one egg was the reason for dispersing the justified protest
rally of dismissed policemen, here there are another 200 reasons
for future 200 protests," Condic said after he threw pink boxes with
eggs at the pavement of St Mark's square.
Prior to this, Condic visited six laid-off policemen who were still
protesting in St Mark's Church.
Leaving the church, Condic, who is in the wheelchair, gave a short
statement to reporters and threw the eggs.
Then Condic, accompanied by his friends, left the square.
The six-month-long protest of laid-off policemen was terminated
two days ago due to a few incidents, including an incident when one
of the former protesters tried to hit Premier Ivica Racan with two
eggs and yoghurt.
