Djapic Promises Drug Mafia Sleepless Nights
No drug dealer will be able to sleep peacefully any longer – said Anto Djapic, supporting Ruza Tomasic.
President of the Croatian Party of Rights (HSP) Anto Djapic sent a clear message on Tuesday that his party strongly backed member of parliament Ruza Tomasic regarding recent threats sent to her by the narcotics circle in Dalmatia.
10 percent of Croatians connected with the drugs mafia
-Five million kuna circulate around the narcotics mafia and our police have a smaller budget than they do. But still, in the case of the narcotics mafia, the police do not act timely or with appropriate measures – Djapic said, adding that as many as ten percent of Croatians were connected with the narcotics circles in the negative sense. He also stressed that from now on dealing with the narcotics mafia was the top priority of his party.
-If we come to power, with Ruza Tomasic at the helm of the interior ministry, we also promise concrete results in the fight against this evil – Djapic said, stressing that issues such as the legalisation of light drugs were not an instrument in the fight against drugs, but concrete actions in capturing dealers are.
No jokes with the Slovenes
Djapic also commented on current topics on Croatia’s political scene, including the statement by President Stjepan Mesic, who joked about the “Slovene drawing of maps”.
-These are definitely not topics about which we should joke. I expect of the Croatian government primarily, as well as of the Foreign Minister, to give a firm and clear response to Slovene provocations – Djapic stressed, explaining that Slovene provocations harmed Croatia’s position in negotiations with the EU.
Bad timing for Faber
Answering to reporters’ questions about the recent developments regarding Branimir Glavas, Djapic stated that Glavas’s condition was not that critical that he had to be transported to Zagreb hospital. Such an act is not humane or legally regulated, Djapic said, not failing to comment on the promotion of Vladimir Faber, former head of Osijek police, now advisor to the minister of the interior.
-This is definitely bad timing for such a promotion because one can only reach one conclusion, which is that Faber was rewarded for everything that had happened concerning Glavas – Djapic said at the end of the conference.
