The Zagreb Municipal Prosecutor's Office has issued an indictment against the executive president of the Dinamo Zagreb football club, Zdravko Mamic, alleging that Mamic's insulting statements made in mid March against Education and Sports Minister Zeljko Jovanovic and the Serb minority were designed to urge or incite another to commit any offense of violence and hate crime.
Stating just the age of the indictee, the State Prosecutor's Office said on its website that Mamic made claims on a radio talk show publicly urging hate speech against Minister Jovanovic, at the same time showing extreme intolerance and calling for hatred against all people of the Serb nationality.
Mamic was arrested the same day over the contentious statements made on the air, but was released the next day pending official proceedings.
