"Saddened by the inhumane treatment and living conditions of Jovanka Broz, I invited her to visit Istria. I asked Minister Ljajic to tell Mrs. Broz that the memory of her husband Josip Broz Tito in Istria is still alive and very positive," Jakovcic said in a statement to the press.
He added that the visit had not been confirmed, but that his invitation remained open.
"I would be very pleased if Mrs. Broz would accept my invitation to visit Istria with Minister Ljajic," Jakovcic said.
