Wednesday dismissed criticism by Opposition leaders regarding the
statement which Foreign Minister Miomir Zuzul had made in Israel.#L#
"Minister Zuzul was unfairly criticised because his statement was
exclusively in the context of the terrorist attack which took place
about 200 metres from the hotel in which the Croatian delegation was
staying. The minister only said that the problem of terrorism, which
he personally witnessed, needed to be solved," Macek said.
Some Opposition leaders said Zuzul's statement after talks with his
Israeli counterpart Sylvano Shalom, was tactless, that it was a poor
diplomatic move and represented side-taking.
