From the Frontline writes [1] about the “testing times for Croatian journalists”: “In October Ivo Pukanić, the editor of the Nacional Magazine, and a colleague were both killed in a car bomb explosion in central Zagreb. The assassination shocked the nation, yet the situation has not improved. Well-known journalist Drago Hedl continues to receive threats to his life for his investigation of a high level Croatian politician in the killing of Croatian Serbs in the town of Osijek during the 1991-1995 war.”
