To express concern with the inability of the political leadership to face the biggest problems in the country (most connected with record recession), Platform 112, established by 70 Croatian human rights and democratization CSOs in 2011, gathered outside government offices earlier this November holding 112 white balloons, in reference to the number of demands and concrete measures CSOs presented in 2011 to the then-new government. As 2014 is the last year before new elections, the Platform revised previously set goals: as only 16 demands received a "passing grade," 96 balloons were popped.
