CROATIAN PM ON INCIDENTS AT WATERPOLO CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS

ZAGREB, June 16 (Hina) - Prime Minister Ivica Racan on Monday voiced deep regret about incidents which took place at Sunday's European waterpolo championship finals between Croatia and Serbia and Montenegro in Slovenia's Kranj and said the government would as early as Wednesday debate on a law aimed at preventing incidents at sports events. #L# "I have congratulated Croatian waterpolo players on their great silver medal," said Racan adding the players were excellent ambassadors of their country while some fans at the game were not. He said there were omissions in the organisation of the game and that Slovenia misjudged the significance and risk of the game. "One should be concerned about what Serbian fans did, I primarily refer to the attack on the Croatian embassy building in Belgrade," said the PM, adding that the bodies of democratically elected government in Serbia should deal with that. "I can only express regret about the fact that these acts of violence and primitivism had not been immediately condemned by most senior officials of that country," said Racan, reminding about the consequences of late reactions to such form of primitivism in recent history.
