Protest note to Croatia due to anti-Serbian politics
Belgrade,
4 September 2017
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced today that a dispatch note was sent to the Charge d'Affaires of the Croatian Embassy in Belgrade on the occasion of the incident that arose at the Croatian Rights Party in Zagreb.
The statement said that the supporters of this party displayed pro-Ustasha and anti-Serb political views in front of the Serbian National People's Council in Zagreb and burnt a copy of the independent Serbian weekly "Novosti".
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia considers that such an incident, carried out by a neo-fascist political group from Croatia led by its president, in the presence of members of the Croatian police, is an example of raising national hatred and intimidation of members of the Serbian national minority in the Republic of Croatia and an attempt to revise history as and the glorification of the Ustasha movement and its features.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia expects the perpetrators of criminal offences to be charged and punished by law.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia expects the competent institutions of Croatia to prevent such gatherings in the spirit of preserving and further developing bilateral relations, the protest note by the Ministry reads.
