Kajin told the press he was certain the upholding of the decision in parliament, announced for October 4, would further deteriorate Croatian-Slovene relations.
He called on the authorities of the two countries to once again try to discuss contentious issues.
Kajin also commented on the Hague war crimes tribunal's demand that former Slobodna Dalmacija editor in chief Josip Jovic answer charges of disclosing the identity of a protected witness, Croatian President Stjepan Mesic. Kajin said the request was out of place, but added that Jovic must go to The Hague.
"Such a request would have been in order in 1998, when Mesic (not yet president) was strongly attacked, when he was really threatened because of his testimonies in The Hague. But since 2000 and 2001 the institution of the president has an entire police, military and intelligence system to protect him and is the most protected person in Croatia, so such a request from the Hague tribunal makes no sense," said Kajin.
He added that for those reasons, he expected Mesic to stand by Jovic and other Croatian journalists indicted by the UN court.
"If the Hague tribunal wants to prosecute journalists, it should call the war mongers from 1990 and 1991," Kajin said.
