Croatia: Molotov cocktail thrown at Serbian consulate
RIJEKA -- An unidentified perpetrator threw a glass bottle containing a flammable substance at the Serbian Consulate General in the Croatian town of Rijeka last night.
However, the bottle did not explode.
Police have determined that the perpetrator tried to set the liquid on fire and then threw the bottle at the Consulate’s door.
The bottle broke and the flammable substance spilled but it did not catch fire, Rijeka-based daily Novi list has reported and added that the building was not damaged and that the police are looking for the perpetrator.
Rijeka Mayor Vojko Obersnel has strongly condemned the throwing of the Molotov cocktail on the Serbian Consulate.
“Rijeka has always been tolerant and it will stay that way despite irresponsible individuals. Unfortunately, I have to say that growing nationalism we have an opportunity to see every day will probably lead to more events of this kind,” he pointed out.
