ANKARA, Nov 6 (Hina) - Croatian Prime Minister Ivica Racan, who is
currently on an official visit to Turkey, on Monday dismissed as
"utterly unacceptable" the statement by the head of the Democratic
Opposition of Serbia, Goran Djindjic, that Croatia should, as a
sign of good will, give up its southernmost peninsula of Prevlaka to
Montenegro. #L#
"Djindjic's statement is utterly unacceptable and this is an issue
which nobody in Croatia will discuss at this level," Racan
asserted.
For us in Croatia Prevlaka is not a territorial, but a security
issue, and in cooperation with Montenegro, we can prove that nobody
is in any danger originating from Prevlaka, he added.
Stating claims of this kind cannot be excused even by upcoming
elections in Serbia, Racan stressed he did not wish to dramatise the
issue and "everybody, including Djindjic, has a right to
nonsense".
"This is a statement of which even Djindjic cannot be proud," Racan
said.
The process of democracy in Serbia is unstoppable and this process
will inevitably wipe out some people, maybe even Djindjic, he
asserted.
