Croatian TV’s Latinica program focussed last night on the murder of the late Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic. This was the topic the program chose to celebrate its 450th show in 15 years of broadcasting. The guests in the studio included Milos Vasic, author of the book “The Assassination of Zoran,” Vladimir Popovic, chief of communications in Djindjic's government, Croatian journalist Denis Kuljis, Croatian National Party President Vesna Pusic, and historian Ivo Banac of the Croatian Helsinki Council. Croatian show documents Djindjic murder A ten-minute short about the late prime minister shown at the beginning of the program ended with the following quote: “The tragic end of his political career and his intellect will turn Djindjic into a Kennedy-like hero. Zoran could have been alive today, building a career as a professor in a European city or watching his sons become grown men, but he wanted to live in a modern Serbia. Unfortunately for many, they did not allow him to do so. Underground heroes have taken control of the country once again.” Speaking of the prime minister's murder, host Denis Latin spoke of Vojislav Kostunica and Djindjic’s relationship, and Denis Kuljis stressed the role of then American ambassador to Belgrade William Montgomery. Kuljis claimed that Montgomery was the key to the crisis in Serbia at the time, adding that the ambassador was at that time close to Serbian tycoons such as Bogoljub Karic. “I agree, his role is still not in the open, but for one reason – he still lives here, and in both Croatia and Serbia he represents a kind of authority, even if he is the only ambassador who was not allowed to return to his country after the end of his mandate and is the only ambassador to stay in the country where he worked, who goes against all diplomatic rules, and who is the only American ambassador that does not get invited to the Independence Day reception at the embassy,” Vladimir Popovic said. The show’s guests agreed that the late prime minister had led Serbia on to a path that it must not veer from, no matter the obstacles. Pusic said that the region’s European integration was the main goal of Djindjic's generation throughout the Balkans and that all countries, including Croatia, would be a lot closer to EU membership if he was still alive.
