Let There Be Peace in Croatia

By: Erica McCauley

In response to Serbian President's accusation of "threatening Serbia with weapons," new Croatian President Ivo Josipović claims that he was not surprised. He also reassured the press and the people that Croatia has no intentions of the sort. He notes that Tadic's statement was to cause discrepancies domestically against Croatia, not internationally. He thinks that Tadic was just trying to get under Josipovic's skin, because Josipovic reminded the public that even the UN has made public statements praising Croatia's attempts at peace policies. The accusation that Tadic was referring to is a statement that was made by former Croatian president to promote peace and unity within Bosnia-Herzegovina. Josipovic wants peace in Bosnia Herzegovina because it is important for Croatian citizens to have the same equal rights across borders.
