There were 267 attempts to cross the border fence from Belarus on Tuesday.
Dutch MEP Tineke Strik, who recently returned from the region, says the situation is likely to worsen if more EU countries go ahead with legalising pushbacks.
"It is simply shameful," said one protester.
The EU's home affairs commissioner says she is "extremely concerned" by reports of illegal, sometimes violent, migrant pushbacks at the bloc's borders, particularly in Greece in Croatia where she called for probes. SOUNDBITE
About 100 people descended on Maljevac, Croatia to call for an end to pushbacks and the dissolution of EU border agency Frontex.
