Police fears violence if Ceca sings in Zagreb
Croatian Times
Serbian turbo folk diva Svetlana Ceca Raznatovic may not get permission to perform in Croatia out of fear that her concert could turn violent.
The Croatian police considers the event "high-risk" and may decide to ban the concert. Zagreb city administrators, the owners of Zagreb's Maksimir stadium where the concert would take place, say they would not oppose Ceca's performance as long as the Ministry of the Interior gives the event the green light.
Raznatovic was married to Zeljko Raznatovic "Arkan," notorious leader of Serbian paramilitary forces indicted by International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia (ICTY) for crimes committed during the war in former Yugoslavia (1991-1995). He was killed in 2000.
In the controversy surrounding the concert, Ceca has managed to do something no one has done before - to unite the Croatian far-right and left in opposition, the daily Jutarnji List writes.
Milanka Opacic from the left-wing Social Democratic Party (SDP) said that her first reaction to learning about the possible concert was that Croatia's standards are dropping.
"I think that we must take into consideration the music she sings, but also the fact of who her husband was," Opacic said. The head of the far-right Croatian Party of Rights (HSP) said the party would protest if the concert receives a go ahead. The majority conservative Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) did not comment, the daily writes.
Ceca is planning a concert at Zagreb’s Maksimir as part of the Balkan tour for her upcoming album.

If the Croatian government allows Ceca to perform in Zagreb?! then every Croatian citizen should stand up and bring down the government and for once get rid of these as***les who continuously spit on the faces of every Croatian. I couldn't care less about turbo folk for one its listeners have absolutly no respect for music, they are a bunch of ignorant crack head monkeys who simply do not understand as to why these Serbs are using their music to dilute the minds of young Croatians. Ceca is the wife of Arkan (a Serbian war terrorist) and even the thought that Croatia might consider her performance is appalling!!!!!

Agreed 100%! It is unimaginable that Ceca's concert plans ever made it this far. This tramp wife of a murdering terrorist should be banned from Croatia. Let her perform in drunken bars in Belgrade.

They should let her perform there, then after the concert all those who attend should be rounded up and deported to Seronja. The current Gov. in Croatia is so far up serbias rear...they allow turbo folk but treat Thompson like a traitor.

Yes....totally agree, this current government is spitting in the faces of the Croatian people. To allow this event to take place is utterly disgusting. She should be sent to the Hage to perform instead, punishing the rest of those Serbian war criminals awaiting trail.
