The protesters, holding banners, gathered near the Presidency Building, with dozens of police officers on guard. The process was peaceful, and there were no clashes. Traffic went smoothly at the main street in front of the Presidency Building.
On Feb. 7, 2014, police and protesters clashed violently, with some 200 people injured, most of them police officers, and dozens of building set on fire, including the Presidency Building and Sarajevo Canton Government Building.
