In the latest in a series of attacks, Kurir published a photo of Dulic-Markovic with the caption "Ustasha harborer", while recently it ran unfounded articles accusing her of selling Vojvodina to Croats.
Belgrade's B92 radio said Kurir based its accusations also on claims by politician Milan Paroski that Croatia had bought 28 companies in the northern Serbian province of Vojvodina. He said proof that Dulic-Markovic was linked to the sale lay in the fact that she was born in Zagreb, where she also graduated.
The Democratic League of Croats in Vojvodina said in a statement today that Kurir was continuing the campaign against Croats in Vojvodina which it launched with a photomontage of Dulic-Markovic and Anto Djapic, the leader of the Croatian Party of Rights, made when he visited Subotica in mid-August.
The League said the tabloid's articles might result in negative consequences for Serbia and Serbs in Croatia.
The president of the Croatian National Council, Josip Pekanovic, told Hina those attacks were an indirect message telling members of the Croatian community that one day they too might become somebody's target. He described this as unsettling.
Dulic-Markovic told B92 she had no idea why Kurir was attacking her and her family. She said that an untrue article alleging that her father had harboured a convicted Ustasha criminal two years after World War Two was intended to discredit her and force her to leave Serbia.
The Serbian government condemned "Kurir's defamatory and inflammatory attack" on Dulic-Markovic, saying it seriously tarnished Serbia's reputation.
