Organisers distributed leaflets and paid respects to the victims of
the recent terror attack in Madrid.
Citizens were also able to sign a petition against sending Croatian
soldiers to Iraq. The petition, launched in January, has been signed
by about 10,000 people so far and will now be sent to the government.
The protest and the petition are expressions of solidarity with all
victims of war and terrorism, said Vesna Terselic, one of the
organisers.
"I think it's important for Croatia not to send its soldiers to Iraq
and for the government and parliament to support the constructive
steps in Kosovo and Serbia as well," she said.
