Police ask for help in identifying trouble-makers in Cavoglave

Autor: mses
ZAGREB, Aug 6 (Hina) - The Croatian Interior Ministry has stated that the police will spare no effort to establish the identity of people who attacked a Croatian Television (HTV) crew in the village of Cavoglave on Thursday, calling on everybody who has any information about those incidents and who can help identify the trouble-makers to contact the police.

The incidents which occurred at the celebration of Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving Day in the village of Cavoglave, in which three persons were insulting the HTV crew and throwing pebbles at the cameraman, was recorded by HTV camera. The recording will help the police identify the attackers and press charges, Sibenik police said on Friday.

Later in the day, the ministry said that the photos of those perpetrators would be posted at the web sites of the ministry and the Sibenik police.

According to the ministry's statement, the police undertake to investigate the incidents and to press charges against the perpetrators in accordance with the legislation on the punishment of actions associated with violation of public peace and order.

The photos show some of people wearing Ustasha insignia on their clothes.

Earlier in the day the Croatian Journalists' Association (HND) called on the police to identify people who assaulted a reporter and a cameraman of the national broadcaster at events marking Victory Day in Cavoglave on Thursday.

"Every physical attack and threat to journalists undermine democracy and the social order of a country," the HND said in a statement, urging the criminal prosecution of the perpetrators of the incident.

The association criticised the police for what it said was a very slow and uninterested intervention when the incident happened.

The HTV reporters were exposed to a one-and-half-hour ill-treatment before the eyes of security guards who failed to respond and with the connivance of the police that needed much time to come to the scene of the incident, the association said.

In the meantime, the police reported the identification of the trouble-makers was under way.
