‘Hold Perpetrators Responsible’: Indian Embassy Trespassed in Croatia, MEA Seeks Strong Action

India condemned pro-Khalistani activists for trespassing and vandalizing its Zagreb embassy, urging Croatian authorities to hold perpetrators accountable under the Vienna Convention.

  • On Jan 22, India condemned trespassing and vandalism at its embassy in Zagreb, Croatia, calling the acts illegal and reprehensible, the Ministry of External Affairs said from New Delhi.
  • The MEA described the perpetrators as anti-India elements, while media reports identified some vandals as Khalistani activists.
  • Under the Vienna Convention, the MEA said diplomatic premises are `inviolable and must be protected`, adding that `law enforcement authorities everywhere would do well to take note of` such actions.
  • India lodged a strong protest and asked Croatian authorities to hold the perpetrators accountable for the embassy vandalism, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.
  • The development came days ahead of European Union leaders' visit to New Delhi for the Republic Day parade and the EU‑India Summit, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year agreed with Andrej Plenkovic to give a three-time pace to bilateral ties.
