LJUBLJANA, Aug 18 (Hina) - Slovenia's state news agency STA on
Sunday quoted Josko Joras, a councillor of Piran, a Slovene town
near the border with Croatia, who lives in Mlini, Croatia, as saying
that Istrian fishermen were making death threats against him and
his family. #L#
"A group of Croats put a Croatian flag on my house and has made death
threats against me and my family," Joras said, adding that the group
included fishermen from the Buje area who are against having
Slovenes fishing in the Croatian part of Piran Bay.
Joras, a member of Slovenia's People's Party, is known to law
enforcement for his excesses through which he wishes to prove that
his village, Mlini, which is close to the border, is on Slovene
territory. Occasionally he hoists a Slovene flag and other Slovene
insignia on his house.
He has requested protection from the Slovene police but told STA
they have not reacted.
