ZAGREB, Nov 12 (Hina) - The Croatian Government's Public and Media
Relations Office on Friday denied an allegation which the "Novi
List" daily published today within an article on the health
condition of Croatian President Franjo Tudjman.
This office refuted the allegation that Premier Zlatko Matesa had
"returned urgently by air from Vienna yesterday afternoon."
The daily's statement is absolutely untrue, read a statement adding
that Premier Matesa came back to Zagreb at about 15:30 hours, or one
hour later than it had been planned in Matesa's schedule for his
participation in the 5th international financial and economic
forum in the Austrian capital.
This can be confirmed by reporters who accompanied Croatian PM on
this tour and who flied with Matesa aboard the Government's
official plane, the statement read.
The arbitrary allegation of the Novi List daily is part of attempts
of some media to create a atmosphere of an alleged state of
emergency in the country and they abundantly use lies and
fabrications in such endeavours, the Office said.
