ZAGREB, Jan 28 (Hina) - Vladimir Primorac, spokesman for Voice 2000 coalition of non-government associations, on Friday dismissed claims by the Voice 99 Protest Committee that Voice 2000 was using its name and visual identity, which
created an impression that Voice 2000 gathered the majority of associations which had operated within Voice 99. The Voice 99 Protest Committee also claims that Voice 2000 promotional messages are biased and inappropriate for civil society, as well as that they call for violence. Voice 2000 has never identified itself as anyone's successor, including Voice 99, Primorac said calling on Voice 99 to contact competent institutions if they believed they were injured.

ZAGREB, Jan 28 (Hina) - Vladimir Primorac, spokesman for Voice 2000
coalition of non-government associations, on Friday dismissed
claims by the Voice 99 Protest Committee that Voice 2000 was using
its name and visual identity, which created an impression that
Voice 2000 gathered the majority of associations which had operated
within Voice 99.
The Voice 99 Protest Committee also claims that Voice 2000
promotional messages are biased and inappropriate for civil
society, as well as that they call for violence.
Voice 2000 has never identified itself as anyone's successor,
including Voice 99, Primorac said calling on Voice 99 to contact
competent institutions if they believed they were injured.
Messages relayed by Voice 2000 are not biased, Primorac said urging
Voice 99 to look at its own promotional material in the
parliamentary election. Primorac showed a promotional poster of
Voice 99 with the message "Let's Clean Up Dirt, Because It Won't
Clean Up By Itself", adding it was a direct attack on the Croatian
Democratic Union (HDZ).
Asked whether Voice 2000 itself was partial when it ridiculed HDZ
presidential candidate Mate Granic in its promotional material
"Check-Mate in the Second Round" ahead of the first round of
presidential elections, Primorac answered with a question "Why
should we be impartial to the HDZ if it was them who imposed a rule
which was almost totalitarian. Why should we be impartial toward
injustice and tolerant toward intolerance?"
Primorac said Voice 2000 would organise a face to face debate of
presidential candidate at Zagreb's 'Kerempuh' theatre at the end of
next week.
