In response to your article about angry demonstrations in Croatia and Serbia (“Protest Days,” April 23, 2011), the mayor of Zagreb, Milan Bandić, writes that Croatians are angry about the conviction of two generals at the United Nations’ war-crimes tribunal in The Hague not because they are populists, as you claim, but because of the double standards of western politicians and media (Letters to the Editor, May 28, 2011). Generals from some countries can do whatever they please without a single thought about The Hague, but Croatian generals cannot. Besides, Croatians are angry because the government is riddled with corruption while the opposition is tainted with scandal. The leading Croatian newspapers have commented on his letter with approval. Just like the mayor of the Croatian capital, they have skipped the other country in your article, Serbia. Angry demonstrations are currently shaking the country after the capture of yet another general who is about to be delivered to the court in The Hague. When it comes to Serbia, though, chances are that both the mayor of Zagreb and the Croatian media would agree with your charge of populism. The old double standards, it would appear.
