Anti-Serbian rhetoric in Croatia in full swing
Belgrade,
5 August 2016
First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic said today that the operation "Storm" represents the biggest ethnic cleansing in Europe since World War II, and not "ethically pure victory", as claimed by Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic in today's statement.
Dacic, in response to the statement by Grabar-Kitarovic that "Storm" was an ethically clean victory and that it unburdened the Serbs of the weight of projects of Greater Serbia, said that this shows that for Croatia it is ethically clean to kill several thousand Serbs and expel more than 220,000.
He described such a statement as rudeness, asking if Croatia unburdened them by killing them, by taking away their houses and apartments, fields and forests, leaving them without pensions and by expelling them for the land of their fathers and grandfathers?
According to the Croatian national census, in 1931 Serbs accounted for 18.45% of the population and in 2011 only 4.36%.
Where did 400,000 Serbs disappear in twenty years? Instead of expressing the feeling of guilt and compassion, Croatia is proud of that, which is shown by speeches and Ustasha salutes in Knin, where Serbs accounted for 80% of the population in 1991, Dacic stated.
