"The citizens of Serbia expect parliament to distance itself from such absolutely inappropriate and damaging statements by some deputies," Tadic said in a statement, underlining that the state must guarantee every right to the citizens of Serbia, regardless of religion or nationality.
The Serbian Revival Movement (SPO) also condemned the assault on Dulic-Markovic, the only Croat minister in the Serbian government, with party vice president Srdjan Sreckovic urging competent bodies to protect democratic institutions.
The SPO maintains that "the Radicals are Serbia's malignant tissue," said Sreckovic, adding that their statement in parliament today was yet another warning to the democratic bloc of the danger of Serbia going back to a period of isolation. He said democratic forces must cooperate because of Serbia's future.
The Democratic Party condemned the "hate speech" heard in parliament today and protested against Deputy Speaker Vojislav Mihailovic for "inadequately conducting the session".
The party said in a statement that "evil words always precede acts which are contrary to citizens' interests".
Serbian Radical Party deputy Zoran Krasic said that some members of Dulic-Markovic's family had been Ustasha, after which the deputies of G17 Plus, of which the minister is a member, walked out of the session.
