CROATIA: SPLIT MAYOR ATTACKS SERBS, NEVER DONE ANYTHING GOOD
(ANSAmed) - BELGRADE, SEPTEMBER 22 - The press in Belgrade dedicated large amounts of space today to the anti-Serbian statements made by the Mayor of Spilt, the second largest city in Croatia, who said that he would never accept a Serbian into his family. "The Serbs have never done anything good, neither them, nor Montenegrins, and they never will," said Mayor Zeljko Kerum, a controversial figure who has already been in the middle of past conflicts and disagreements. Kerum attacked the Serbs during an interview on a very popular Croatian TV programme. When asked if he would accept a Serbian into his family, he gave a clear-cut answer: "Under no circumstances and it would never happen. Serbs and Montenegrins in the past have only done bad things, I would never accept having a Serbian son-in-law or brother-in-law," said Kerum. A rich businessman and the owner of an important supermarket chain, Kerum was elected mayor running as an independent candidate in last May's elections. On previous occasions he has already drawn attention to himself with aggressive and uninhibited remarks. (ANSAmed). 2009-09-22 15:07 http://www.ansamed.info/en/news/[email protected] __._,_.___
