Minister of Justice Maja Popovic assessed today that the decision of the government of the Republic of Croatia to forbid President of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic from visiting Jasenovac and laying flowers on the graves of brutally murdered innocent Serbs, Jews, Roma and other victims, represents a violation of the basic principles on which the European Union rests.

Prohibiting President Vucic from visiting Jasenovac violation of basic EU principles

Popovic pointed out that anti-fascism and the protection of human rights are intertwined into the foundations of European values.
It is unacceptable for a member of the European Union to forbid the president of a neighbouring country to pay respect to the innocent victims of a fascist regime, said Popovic.
According to her, due to such a decision of the government of the Republic of Croatia, the question can rightly be raised whether the official policy of that country is based on respect for modern values, such as the protection of human rights and anti-fascism, or on the aspiration to continue the traditions of the Independent State of Croatia, which in its time represented one of the most ferocious Nazi creations.
