Few of the supporters of our Government (latest pool, CroDemoskop, shows the scandalous total of 13.7% supporters) are obviously set in motion everywhere.
Anyway, the only point of these protests is (and after already surviving the unsurvivable for any healthy democracy - numerous corruption scandals, former prime minister and few ministers ending up imprisoned and complete devastation of the country's economy with totally inadequate ruling), for the Government to finally step down.
Peaceful protest are held every second day, with the average of 5000 mostly younger and highly educated (few may be teen & drunk, but not the majority) protesters marching approximately 8-10 km each time, and with a substantial support from windows and cars they pass by.
And the Government is afraid, as protest of a larger scale, especially continuous (and 5000-10000 here is considered larger scale), aren't something this county is used to, but it still remains to be seen if they'll be prepared, at least once, to do the right thing and finally resign.
