(Croatia) - Croatian prosecutors on Tuesday indicted a 25-year-old man on hate crime charges for allegedly attempting to attack a Gay parade in Zagreb earlier this year. The man is the first person in Croatia to face hate crime charges since it was introduced into the Penal Code last year. If convicted, he faces up to eight years in prison. Police spotted the man as he prepared to throw homemade Molotov cocktails - bottles containing gasoline - at the parade participants gathering at Zagreb's main square. He fled the scene, but was tracked down later at his home.
