Croatian President Ivo Josipovic, under whose auspices the 295th Alka lancing tournament in the southern Croatian town of Sinj is held, said on Sunday there were no problems between him and the organisers of the tournament.
"There is no reason why the president and (organisers of) the Alka tournament should have problems with one another, Josipovic told reporters ahead of the beginning of the Alka tournament today.
"Alka is a cultural event which sends out the message of patriotism, heroism, peace, love and beauty," Josipovic said adding that "Sinjska Alka" was a Croatian brand which deserved international attention.
