ZAGREB, Oct 18 (Hina) - The Social Democrats (SDP) have dismissed an accusation indicating this ruling coalition's party would be an instigator at a protest rally the national headquarters for the protection of Homeland War values is
staging on Saturday. Such accusations on the part of the opposition's Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) are absurd and an attempt to find in advance the culprit for something that might happen at the rally, SDP vice president Zeljka Antunovic told reporters on Thursday. The party does not endorse the rally in which it recognises the encouragement of a fake polarisation in Croatia and the fomenting of fear and insecurity, she said. Asked if there were signals that something leading to disturbance might occur at the Saturday rally, Antunovic answered in the negative, but said there was a proclamation calling for intolerant behaviour and accusing of high treason.

ZAGREB, Oct 18 (Hina) - The Social Democrats (SDP) have dismissed an
accusation indicating this ruling coalition's party would be an
instigator at a protest rally the national headquarters for the
protection of Homeland War values is staging on Saturday.
Such accusations on the part of the opposition's Croatian
Democratic Union (HDZ) are absurd and an attempt to find in advance
the culprit for something that might happen at the rally, SDP vice
president Zeljka Antunovic told reporters on Thursday.
The party does not endorse the rally in which it recognises the
encouragement of a fake polarisation in Croatia and the fomenting
of fear and insecurity, she said.
Asked if there were signals that something leading to disturbance
might occur at the Saturday rally, Antunovic answered in the
negative, but said there was a proclamation calling for intolerant
behaviour and accusing of high treason.
SDP presidency member Davorko Vidovic confirmed that such
proclamations indicated the rally was not just a gathering but a
call for toppling the authorities, which he added undermined the
organisers' good intentions.
