“What is happening in Croatia is regrettable, as confirmed by the fact that fierce criticism of the erection of the monument to Stepinac – a war criminal at the time of fascist Ustashi Independent State of Croatia (NDH) – was prompted by the monument’s proximity to a parking lot.
This indicates that a climate has been created in Croatia in which anti-Serb policy, justification of crimes against Serbs and rehabilitation of the fascist Ustashi NDH are the order of the day.
Furthermore, this sends a clear message to Serbs that crimes against them are allowed and pass with impunity.
Why is the European Union silent in the face of rehabilitation of fascism and war crimes? Does silence mean approval? Or will someone from the EU eventually prove me wrong?” stated Minister Ivica Dacic.
