AFP - Several thousand anti-government protestors, mostly young people, marched through the Croatian capital on Wednesday calling on conservative Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor to step down.

The protestors initially marched through downtown Zagreb without incident, four days after violent clashes between demonstrators and police left dozens injured.
