ELDR denounces the grave attacks to Jovanović’s headquarter

eldr, Tuesday 19 February 2008 15:00 ::

 ELDR has been informed that in four municipalities’ offices of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in Serbia have been demolished on Sunday 17th and Monday 18th February after Kosovo proclaimed its independence. Following acts of vandalism against the residence of LDP Leader Čedomir Jovanović in Belgrade, ELDR President Annemie Neyts said that the European liberal democrat party is calling “for an investigation into the inciting of violence as well as an investigation into who has produced acts of destruction against the people and the property of the Liberal Democratic Party in Belgrade”. “There is a climax of aggression – added President Neyts - instigated by anti-European lobbies which obstructed during the last Serbian presidential elections the job of the liberal democratic candidate Mr Jovanović, who strongly supported an effective pro-European solution to the Kosovo status issue”. 

“Stones were thrown on Sunday afternoon at the headquarters of the LDP and a break-in and arson were attempted”, informed LDP staff who was working into the building at that time. Mr Jovanović also denounced the violence from a group of ultranationalist-oriented hooligans that even tried to enter on Sunday into his private apartment. ELDR, LDP and Liberal International appeal to all Serbia’s friends in the EU and in the international community as a whole to strongly support the democratic future of Serbia, to encourage Serbia to advance the current standards of human rights and democratic development, and to repeat a clear message to Serbia and the Western Balkan states that their future belongs in the EU.
