Residents of the Croatian village of Vrhovina have launched a petition against Dr. Esad Mujkanovic, who refused to treat a patient because he was a Serb. The Serb in question is one Bosko Radic, who lost the sight of one eye last week and whose condition is steadily deteriorating. Petition launched against Croatian doctor More than 300 residents of the Vrhovina municipality have signed the petition calling for Mujkanovic to be struck off as a resident doctor. “Percentage-wise, this is over 95 percent of the Serb and Croat population who we’ve visited so far and asked to sign the petition,” Deputy Municipal Governor Miroslav Masic said. Radic was due to be released from the hospital last week, but doctors have decided to keep him in for further tests. “His center of balance is slightly damaged. He can no longer see out of his right eye. This is a result of not receiving the first aid that he needed,” Radic’s wife Olga said. Meanwhile, the media has started receiving calls from other people claiming to have suffered at the hands of Mujkanovic. One person described how, having been bitten by a dog, they went to see Dr. Mujkanovic. Seeing who it was, Mujkanovic told them to bandage the wound and leave. Radic was taken to hospital after exhibiting symptoms of a stroke. After examining him, Mujkanovic just gave him an infusion and kept him in the hospital. When officials of the Vrhovina municipality called for Radic to be transferred to another hospital, Mujkanovic insulted them and called them Chetniks. Charges have been filed against Mujkanovic for breach of the peace in Vrhovina.

Snažno nevreme stiže u Srbiju

U većem delu Srbije će danas pre podne biti pretežno sunčano, toplo, suvo i vetrovito, uz olujnu košavu u Beogradu, na jugu Banata, u Pomoravlju i donjem Podunavlju, a već u poslepodnevnim satima biće kratkotrajne kiše ili pljuskova.
