Tasovac wrote that the perfidious attack on journalists of ''Charlie Hebdo" was an attack on the French tradition of satire and sharp criticism of the European idea of freedom of opinion and expression.
Deeply shaken by the loss of innocent lives, I admire the citizens of France for their commitment to the spirit of tolerance. A dignified struggle for a free and open society is a struggle for all of us, Tasovac wrote.
