U.S. Embassy Reacts to Statements in "Vecernji list"

Mr. Miljenko Manjkas
Editor-in-Chief
Večernji list
Zagreb


I was appalled to read the inflammatory and anti-Semitic remarks by Semso Tankovic that were printed unchallenged in the August 19 edition of Vecernji List. Opinions such as these have no place in a modern, progressive society. Such comments, whether concerning Jews or people of any race, nationality, faith or color, should be condemned by all who seek a future free from the intolerance that led to immeasurable human tragedy in this part of the world during the last century.

Charge d'affaires ad interim
