Milorad Pupovac, the leader of the Independent Democratic Serb Party, SDSS, one of the parties representing Croatia's Serb minority, said on Friday that the defacement of some of the party's European Parliament election campaign billboards should not deter Croatian Serbs from turning out to vote.

The Interior Ministry (MUP) announced this on Wednesday, adding that D.J. was arrested on suspicion of having committed the criminal offense of trading in influence and abuse of office.

D.J. was arrested on the order of the Special Department for Suppression of Corruption of the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade.

7-February-2017 17:47 BELGRADE - Dejan Jovic, a professor at the Zagreb Faculty of Political Sciences, expects the status quo in the Serbia-Croatia relations to continue over the long term.

Croatia needs to precisely set its foreign policy goals and plan its international diplomatic initiatives more thoroughly, according to Dejan Jovic, a professor at the Zagreb Faculty of Political Sciences and chief analyst to former President Ivo Josipovic.

The lowest-ever turnout in Croatia in the elections held on September 11 should be seen "as an expression of the feeling of citizens that there is not as much power in politics as there used to be", Zagreb Political Sciences Professor Dejan Jovic said.

Croatia's new Foreign Minister, Miro Kovac, has made his first official visit to neighbouring Hungary, with which Croatia has had troubled relations in the recent past.

After being axed as the President's "Chief Analyst" last week, Dejan Jovic is still a hot topic in Croatia following his controversial remarks about the 1991 independence referendum.

...

Croatian President Ivo Joipovic has axed one of his chief advisers for slating the country's 1991 independence referendum as illiberal and undemocratic.

Professor Dejan Jovic expressed his highly controversial thoughts on the referendum on independence from Yugoslavia earlier this week in an academic journal, "Political Thought".
