A Croatian war veteran was rushed to hospital after setting himself on fire during a protest by former soldiers outside a government ministry, hospital and police said Tuesday.



“Damir Cakinic was hospitalised overnight with serious injuries… and has burns to 40 percent of his body,” a doctor at a Zagreb hospital where the man was admitted said.

His life was not in danger, doctor Aljosa Matejcic added.

Police said only that a 50-year-old man had set himself on fire in front of the veterans ministry, in central Zagreb, late Monday, without adding further details.

Djuro Glogoski, head of an association of war invalids, told media that Cakinic was a war veteran.
According to local media reports the man had arrived in front of the ministry, where veterans and invalids of the 1990s conflict here have been protesting for the past week, poured liquid over himself then and set himself alight.
