PM "won't respond" to ombudsman's "open letter"

In addition, Vucic said that Jankovic - who serves as citizens' ombudsman - is "a politician, and it's bad that he's doing that - but I don't want to comment on it."

He then "congratulated Jankovic on his popularity in Croatia," adding that he (Vucic) is "the least popular there."

The prime minister also said he was "not worried because he is being attacked, but because somebody is a priori attacking Serbia."

Earlier, Jankovic criticized Vucic's previous statement describing him and others as being "a priori against the state and their own people." Jankovic said this was "a sign of totalitarianism and incitement to hatred."

In an open letter to Vucic, he said this was not the first time that the prime minister was "presenting untruths about his (Jankovic's) work" and that this was not a problem only for him and the people whom the prime minister mentioned, "but also for democracy in Serbia."

The prime minister's assessment is meaningless, Jankovic said in a statement, adding that "nobody has the right to say such a thing" while Vucic is "the last to have that right."

"Even if I, or anyone else mentioned, in the past changed our views by 180 degrees, counted citizens on ethnic grounds in the proportion of 1 to 100, received an apartment from the state while it was being bombed, served as minister of information while owners of newspapers were being killed, or if I today trampled on and took over the jurisdictions from all state bodies and institutions, as is the case with you - you should not be telling us we are the enemies of the state and the nation," Jankovic said in his letter to Vucic.
