Leaders of the Croatian Sovereignists party on Sunday condemned the painting of a swastika and the letter U on the front door of MP Hrvoje Zekanovic's home in the coastal city of Sibenik as an act of vandalism, saying that "messages of intimidation and revenge" would not be tolerated.
Addressing a press conference in Zagreb, Pero Kovacevic said that the Sovereignists wanted the police to provide Zekanovic and his family with effective protection.
They also called for an urgent investigation to identify those responsible.
“That is a message of intimidation and revenge to Hrvoje Zekanovic and the Croatian Sovereignists and a warning that those so-called threatened ones, whose superiors are behind all this, will defend their sinecures until the end. But they will not get away with it,” Kovacevic said, stressing that the Croatian Sovereignists were not afraid.
