BARBAN, Aug 19
(Hina) - There is no one in democracy who is not
subject to questioning, both about their role and their function,
President Ivo Josipovic said on Sunday when asked by the press to
comment on a joint statement issued today by the Independent
Democratic Serb Party (SDSS), the Serb People's Council (SNV), the
Joint Council of Municipalities (ZNV) and the Prosvjeta cultural
society.
The four organisations said Josipovic's recent letter to Novosti magazine was a dangerous precedent wholly inappropriate to democracies and an attack on SNV and SDSS founder Milorad Pupovac.
Josipovic said in Barban the joint statement was undemocratic.
"I, as the president, am often questioned and criticised, and I see no reason why Pupovac should be an exemption," he added.
