ZAGREB, May 22 (Hina) - Transport and Infrastructure Minister Oleg Butkovic said on Wednesday that the rally of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) in Zagreb this past Saturday, which was also attended by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the EPP lead candidate for the EC presidency, Manfred Weber, was impressive, and he dismissed media claims that playing at the rally a song by singer Marko Perkovic Thompson, whose concerts were banned in Germany, constituted an act of disrespect for Merkel.
