Croatian Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor has condemned violence at Saturday's gay pride parade in Split, and deplored any form of the violent behaviour.
During her visit to Gornja Bistra, west of Zagreb, on Sunday, Kosor said that the Constitution and the law on suppression of discrimination prevent discrimination against anybody.
Kosor said that she had talked with Interior Minister Tomislav Karamarko twice on Saturday afternoon immediately after she heard first news about the violence in Split and that she believed that the police had done their job well.
"Given the information that 137 people were arrested, I believe that the police worked in accordance with rules and we are continuing to work on this issue," Kosor said.
She said that yesterday's attack on journalists showed where violence and hatred could lead.
This is something which cannot be tolerated in Croatia, PM said.
