ZAGREB, Dec 17 (Hina) - The Croatian Journalists Association (HND)
on Wednesday strongly condemned an attack on Nova TV co-owner Ivan
Caleta, describing it as yet another act of violence against the
media. #L#
"Regardless of the motives, this is a case of violation of media
freedoms in Croatia," the HND said in a statement signed by
president Dragutin Lucic.
The HND has been opposing any kind of social violence for years and
considers attacks on journalists, editors and media owners
attempts to stop the democratisation and Europeanisation of
society and the media sector in Croatia, reads the statement.
An unidentified person shot Caleta (48) three times in his shins in
downtown Zagreb on Tuesday night. Caleta managed to drive to a
hospital, where he has been recovering.
