Croatian trade unions stage "Syndical Spring" protest in central square
Trade union leaders announced a major demonstration titled the Syndikalno proljeće (Syndical Spring) scheduled for Saturday at noon on Europski trg, with buses arriving from all counties to ensure high turnout despite low expectations among officials themselves.
