'Police units are at the scene,' the spokesman told AFP.
'It (the grenade) has been removed by technical experts from the Berlin police force and taken to a place where it will be blown up.'
After conflicting reports as to whether the object was in fact a weapon, a police spokeswoman told AFP that a preliminary investigation had confirmed it was a grenade and 'dangerous'.
Meanwhile, the Croatian foreign ministry in Zagreb said that authorities in Berlin had established that the package contained a hand grenade type M 75 and that it was accompanied by a 'threatening letter' but police declined to confirm this.
A spokesman for the embassy in Berlin said that the letter, written in Croatian, had been handed over to German authorities and was received in a courier package sent from Germany.
Berlin police said they had no leads yet on possible suspects or motives, but the incident came ahead of a three-day visit by Croatian President Ivo Josipovic from Wednesday."
