ZAGREB, June 28 (Hina) - Responding to a comment by the Bridge party's political secretary Nikola Grmoja about an alleged coincidence between the election of Minister Marija Pejcinovic Buric as Secretary General of the Council of Europe and Serbia's progress in its EU accession negotiations despite not fulfilling the set criteria, the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs said on Friday that the allegations were shameful and unfounded, adding that Bridge cannot come to terms with the minister's election, Croatia's greatest achievement when it comes to the election of Croatian representatives to international organisations.
