In Croatia, hundred of protesters gathered in the country's capital, Zagreb, to voice their dissatisfaction with wage coefficients and their conditions of service. They belong unions which represent teachers, and claim their current wages are unfair.
The demonstrators also spoke against a performance evaluation system which will take effect in January.
The Unions are demanding exemption from the evaluation system or a complete overhaul of the concept which will allow for dismissal as a consequence of poor evaluation.
Meanwhile, Croatia's Ministry of Science and Education responded to the protests saying it sees no rational reason for the protest.
The Ministry claims it has already increased the salaries of teachers by more than 60 percent during the current government and says the protest would only benefit the opposition, who would use it to their advantage during campaigns. However, it also says its open to all proposals of the unions concerning performance reviews, but is yet to give its final decision.
