In an interview for Croatian Television on Tuesday evening, Mesic expressed dissatisfaction on several occasions with the way the national television covered the case of Vladimir Zagorec, whom the Croatian judiciary wants on suspicion of abusing his position of assistant defence minister.
"I have always advocated responsible journalists and responsible journalism, but I also advocate that light be shed on all sides of a particular issue. It is not all right for a person to appear in a medium such as Croatian Television several times without any arguments," Mesic said referring to Zagorec's attorneys.
