Croatia demands compensation for embassy attack
ZAGREB — Monday — The Croatian Foreign Ministry has reacted to last night’s attacks on its Belgrade embassy with a letter to Milan Simurdic, Serbia-Montenegro ambassador to Zagreb.
The ministry’s letter demands to be informed of exactly what happened and also requests that an investigation be conducted and damage compensated.
Croatia contends that around 2,000 Belgraders marched on its embassy last night, shouting insults and leaving every single window and external light smashed.
The statement added: “The incident peaked when some of those people climbed the embassy balcony, took down the Croatian flag, removed the mast and in its place put the Serbia-Montenegro flag”.
