ZAGREB, Oct 19 (Hina) - The Croatian Interior Ministry has dismissed claims that Bosniaks (Muslims) living in the northern Adriatic county of Istria are under increased police control. "We entirely dismiss claims in some media that
Muslims in Istria are under increased police control, particularly that traffic police carry out more detailed check-ups of cars owned by Muslims," Ministry spokeswoman Zinka Bardic said in a statement issued on Friday. A delegation of the Party of Democratic Action, including the chief imam in Pula, Vahid Hadzic, told Istria County prefect Ivan Jakovcic on Thursday that Bosniaks living in Istria were receiving phone threats and being brought in for questioning as well as that their cars were being searched during regular traffic control.(hina) rml
