SNV Bulletin #6 / 92 /2.2. Ruža Tomašić and HKS Ruža Tomašić, a member of the European Parliament and president of the Croatian Conservative Party (HKS), commenting on a statement by Serbian Interior Minister Aleksandar Vulin that the authorities in Zagreb should clean up their own yard first, said in Vukovar on May 3: “They should pray the Lord that we do not clean up our own yard because if we start cleaning they will have a lot more Serbs from Croatia who will have to go to Serbia“. HKS soon became part of a coalition with a telling name, “Ready“, also made up of HSP and the Obiteljska Stranka (Family Party). At an electoral rally in Rijeka on October 21, Ruža Tomašić and Ante Golem of HKS said that right now “Rijeka is only a city in Croatia, but it must become a Croatian city“. “To achieve that“, added coalition member Mile Biondić, “we must defeat the Yugoslav, Italian and Greater Serbian nationalism“. /2.3. Local Officials A few days after the statute of the town of Vukovar was amended to prohibit the use of the Cyrillic script, Lupiga.com portal published a video clip clearly showing the current Vukovar deputy mayor, Marijan Pavliček (HKS), and the president of the Vukovar city council, Igor Gavrić (HDZ), ecstatically singing the Ustasha song “Here is the dawn, here is the day“ (a wartime song about two notorious Ustasha military commanders). “Hey Ustashas, my dear brothers, We shall cross the Drina (river) and set Serbia on fire“, the Vukovar leaders sang enthusiastically. Željko Obajdin, a councillor for the Croatian Peasant Party (HSS), accused two green activists, Žarko Kotur and Željko Obradović, during a session of the Karlovac county assembly of “going east to receive their positions“, hinting at their (Serb) nationality. Kotur and Obradović have been opposing the planned construction of a regional waste management centre at Babina gora near Tušilović. HSP 28 member Zdenko Koren insulted the Sisak-Moslavina deputy county prefect and Serb representative, Bogdan Rkman, on October 12, 2015, by asking whether Rkman as a “former member of the Serb aggressor’s army“ had any information about activities “of new Chetnik and Greater Serbian hardline organisations in the county“. Another HSP deputy, Željko Soldo, joined in insulting Rkman by saying that “Rkman and the likes of him make me sick“. 27 Right wing political party
Hate Speech and Violence Against Serbs in 2015 / 93 /2.4. Catholic Church Clergy The day of the formation of the 9 th brigade of HOS (Croatian Defence Forces) named Rafael vitez Boban 28 and marked on April 10, the date when NDH (the 1941 –45 Nazi puppet Independent State of Croatia) had been proclaimed – was celebrated by father Mate Munitić, who delivered a short prayer next to a cross dedicated to the fallen homeland fighters at the Lovrinac cemetery in Split and wound up with the words: “The centuries-old salute with which Croats have defended their own, without wishing harm on anyone else. God and Croats. For the homeland!” – to which the gathering readily replied: “Ready!” Franjo Jurčević, the parson of Kastav (a small town near the northern Adriatic port of Rijeka), uses his two blogs 29 and his parish’s website 30 to promote intolerance. “During the recent homeland war, had the brave Croatian soldiers, including the famous Split-Dalmatia brigades, not been Ready for the homeland, the murderous Serbian-Chetnik bandits would have certainly repeated Bleiburg and the way of the cross of the Croatian people.” 28 Ustasha war criminal 29 Zupnik.blog.hr and zupnikfranjo.bloger.hr 30 http://www.kastavcrkva.org/blog2015/ blog2015.html /3 Verbal Threats and Physical Violence In 2015, an increase in the incidence of verbal threats and physical violence against Serbs has been recorded. Physical violence continues to be more common in war-affected areas of the Republic of Croatia, where the majority of Serb returnees live. What is worrying is that the perpetrators in most cases are young people, often under-aged. On February 6, the secretary for Milorad Pupovac, president of SNV, received a telephone call from an unknown man who told her in a threatening voice: “I shall come there and kill you all! Do you have any idea how many Croats were killed in Banja Luka (a Serb stronghold in northwest Bosnia) and no one was ever held accountable!” The call took place after a news conference the SDSS party caucus held at the Croatian Parliament building to express its disagreement over the visit of Branimir Glavaš to this state institution. This overt death threat, which was reported to the police, was preceded by insulting messages delivered over the intercom in the building that seats the SNV office, saying: “Serb Chetnik Council“ (January 23) and “Milorad Pupovac – a Chetnik“ (February 5).
