Posted by Ludilo on January 27, 2004, 12:09 pm Television Novi Sad (TVNS) refused on 26 January to broadcast the latest installment of a program for Vojvodina's Croatian minority because local Croatian leader Tomislav Zigmanov made comments in the broadcast linking TVNS to recent anti-Croatian incidents in the Serbian province, Hina reported (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 16 January 2003). Dusica Dulic, who is editor of the canceled program, called TVNS's attitude "unacceptable." This is the third time that TVNS has refused to broadcast one of the Croat-oriented programs, which have been aired twice monthly since 2001. Meanwhile, unknown individuals damaged an unspecified number of tombstones in a Roman Catholic cemetery in Subotica over the 24-25 January weekend. The Croatian news agency reported that it was is the eighth anti-Croatian incident in Vojvodina since the 28 December Serbian parliamentary elections in which the ultranationalist Serbian Radical Party (SRS) won the most votes.
