克羅地亞女球迷袒胸慶祝恐受罰

當地時間6月10日的歐洲盃比賽中，克羅地亞隊3比1戰勝愛爾蘭隊，現場的克羅地亞女球迷紛紛掀起上衣袒胸露乳慶祝勝利。其中一位就職於克羅地亞文化部的女球迷日前接到消息，稱其可能因爲行爲不端而被開除。克羅地亞文化部發言人表示，公務員應該遵守相關的行爲準則，並表示近期會與道德委員會商討對這位女職員的處罰決定。對此消息，這位女球迷迴應稱“不後悔”，並表示對她來說最重要的是球隊的表現。當地人權組織則對此提出譴責，稱文化部行爲“侵犯個人隱私”。

A Croatian civil servant who bared her breasts to celebrate her team's win at Euro 2012 could be disciplined at work, her employers warned on Wednesday.

Topless photos of a joyous Jelena Miksa swamped Internet portals, local media and social networks after Croatia's 3-1 victory over Ireland on Sunday.

But the culture ministry, where Miksa works as a clerk, was not amused and said the young woman could be sanctioned for breaking the code of conduct of public employees.

"We have to react as a public sector employee should behave in line with the code," ministry spokeswoman Natasa Petrinjak told AFP.

She said an ethical committee would discuss the issue later Wednesday or on Thursday to decide on what action to take.

Jelena and her cousin Viktorija from the northern town of Krapina travelled to Poland to support Croatia in their Sunday's opener against Ireland.

After the victory, the women celebrated by pulling their T-shirts high up over their breasts.

"I don't regret anything ... For me the only important thing is how my squad played. Let's go on to win," Jelena Miksa told the Vecernji List daily.

The local branch of the Helsinki Committee for human rights condemned the launching of a disciplinary procedure against Miksa as an "attack on her privacy."

Croatia, quarter-finalists in 2008, are currently leading in their Group C with three points.

They play Italy next on Thursday, also in Poznan, Poland, before taking on defending champions Spain on June 18 in Gdansk.
