Several thousand people clashed with police on the second day of protest in front of the cantonal government building in the northern Bosnian industrial town of Tuzla on Thursday. Protesters hurled stones, eggs and smoke bombs at the government building after police officers guarding the building withdrew. Later, police responded with pepper spray and teargas.
The protest started on Wednesday when around 1,000 people took the streets to complain about continuing high levels of unemployment and factory closures in the town. More than 70 people have been hospitalised so far, including some 50 policemen. Dozens of protesters have also been arrested.
