The Adriatic Institute shared a story with us about protests which took place this past weekend in Croatia. Using the online social site, Facebook, thousands of Croatia’s youth organized rallies in the cities of Zagreb, Rijeka and Split. The young people rallied against the arrest of a young man who created a Facebook group, speaking out against the prime minister, Ivo Sanader, with 60,000 members. This story not only highlights the power of social media sites, but also the growing unrest among Croatians in regards to the high levels of corruption there.
