Albanian MP in Croatia: Croatian television begs Kosovo's pardon for flag scandal

While the moderator was reading the news: “in Kosovo today holds the extraordinary parliamentary elections, for the last 12 years”, Serbia's flag appeared on the backstage.

Following this event, Croatia's Parliament deputy Ermina Lekaj Prlaskaj, who represents the Albanian community and 4 other communities in the Croatian Parliament, has reacted.

This HRT action, Ermina Lekaj-Plascaj, has called “candalosis”.

During the day, she has announced that along with Kosovo Ambassador to Croatia Gzim Kasapallin, she has visited the central offices of public Radio Television, HRT, and has met with General Director Kazmir Bajic, as well as responsible editors of this television.

Lekaj-Plaskaj has indicated that from HRT leaders they have sought to ask for public forgiveness for the mistake they made and that they have promised such a thing.

“We also requested that the disciplinary procedures be initiated against the three workers that “purposely” made this concession”, said her response to her Facebook account.

Furthermore, it has announced that HRT in its next information programme to be announced more about the political circumstances in Kosovo will invite Kosovo's ambassador to Croatia, Guzim Casapolis and himself.

“We also asked Croatia's public television that as a source of direct information regarding the situation in Kosovo have Kosovo's Radio Public Television, RTK. HRT and RTK have a co-operation agreement, but this co-operation is not implemented in practice enough, and that is why such concessions --” exist, the Albanian MP's announcement in Croatia's Parliament said.
