REPLY LETTER TO THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNALISTS FEDERATION

OSIJEK, Sep 15, (Hina)- Prefect of the Osijek-Baranja County, Branimir Glavas, has replied to an open letter from the International Journalists Federation over alleged threats to journalist, Drago Hedl. "The journalist has nothing to fear, except the fear of God and his conscience. I cannot really help with the latter and neither can the Federation," the reply letter from Glavas said. "Hedl thinks that he has achieved his aim, he thinks that he's left a mark with the Federation and the Croatian public painting himself as a 'persecuted journalist', even if he failed to prove it with one argument."
