"This is objectively a great shame for those who did it and who will be held accountable. The police are taking action. I expect the courts to react considering everything that has happened, as well as the hate speech that is unacceptable and unbelievable." Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković emphasized on Saturday in Drvar that the riots in Split are "a great shame," and hate speech is "unacceptable and unbelievable." "I don't really see that the Prime Minister or the President of the country or the Minister of Foreign Affairs would follow such brilliant ideas." Plenković assessed that leading officials in Podgorica do not share that stance. "We have very clearly and transparently stated what Croatia expects." Plenković emphasized that Croatia wants to help the countries in the region on their European path, but expects the resolution of issues that it considers important for good neighborly relations. "We want this process to be democratic and to be good, to form a stable government and then move on to a further reform path." Reflecting on the elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina, he called for the swift establishment of authority and the continuation of European integration. "We believe that legitimacy is real and that’s why the functioning of all institutions is more harmonious, sincere, and fair." He congratulated Darijana Filipović on her election as the Croatian member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, emphasizing the importance of legitimate political representation of the constituent peoples for the functioning of institutions. #govorMržnje #AndrejPlenković #Split (translated)
