ZAGREB, June 27 (Hina) - The editorial board of "Nacional" weekly on Saturday stated that the police questioning of the weekly's editor-in-chief Ivo Pukanic represented the continuation of the policy of pressure and terror against
Pukanic and other Nacional reporters. In a statement issued last night, the editorial board said that "the police and court harassment of the Nacional editor-in-chief and reporters, shortly before the elections, proves that the authorities are continuing to fight the independent media, not refraining from the violation of basic media freedoms and human rights". The editorial board believes these measures are aimed at intimidating reporters, Opposition parties and the public, and expressing its staunch support for its editor-in-chief.(hina) jn rml
