BELGRADE, June 7 (Hina) - The Serbian G17 Plus party filed a request with the Chief Public Prosecutor on Wednesday to take action before the Constitutional Court to ban the Serbian Radical Party (SRS) after its member, Zoran Krasic, had insulted Agriculture Minister Ivana Dulic Markovic on ethnic grounds in Parliament.
BELGRADE, June 7 (Hina) - The Serbian G17 Plus party filed a request with the Chief Public Prosecutor on Wednesday to take action before the Constitutional Court to ban the Serbian Radical Party (SRS) after its member, Zoran Krasic, had insulted Agriculture Minister Ivana Dulic Markovic on ethnic grounds in Parliament.

"Since the SRS has not distanced itself from chauvinist and primitive statements by its deputy and has not condemned his behaviour, G17 Plus expects the Public Prosecutor of the Republic of Serbia to initiate proceedings before the Constitutional Court to ban the SRS," G17 Plus parliamentary caucus leader Miroljub Albijanic said at a press conference in Belgrade.

Albijanic said his party wanted Parliament Speaker Predrag Markovic to impose the most severe punishment on Krasic for "inciting ethnic intolerance and hatred in Parliament."

The criticism was also directed at Vojislav Mihailovic, who presided over the parliamentary session on Tuesday and failed to respond and protect the minister.

Albijanic said he also expected Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica to take a stand on the attack on the member of his Cabinet, stressing that "it is important to see who is who in Serbia today and in what way people express their political views."

SRS Secretary-General Aleksandar Vucic, addressing a press conference on Wednesday, refused to condemn the attack, saying that it was not an ethnically motivated but an "ideological" attack.

A number of non-governmental organisations and political parties have condemned Krasic's statement, with President Boris Tadic being among the first to do so.

Krasic said on Tuesday that Ivana Dulic Markovic, an ethnic Croat, "has proved she is taking the path of those who hate Serbia and its citizens" and that she was planning to bring "Ustashas" as her advisers. He also said "her close family bragged about their involvement in (the Croatian war of independence)" and added that the minister's brother had served in the Croatian National Guard.
