The incident occurred on Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving Day and
uncomfortably reminds us of last week's armed incident by the
Yugoslav army on the Danube near the Sarengrad river islet, the
HDZ's statement notes.
The statement claims that at the same time, the Yugoslav President,
Vojislav Kostunica repeated the theory by the Yugoslav Foreign
Minister about ethnic cleansing of ethnic Serbs from Croatia.
The HDZ condemns these events and denounces these statements and
once again repeats that they undermine Croatia's efforts to
normalise the relations with its neighbours.
