Officials from Republika Srpska and Serbia, including RS President Milorad Dodik and Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic, attended an event commemorating the start of the Ustasha regime’s WWII campaign of genocide against Jews, Serbs, and Roma. The event was held in Donja Gradina, site of the Jasenovac concentration camp.
In his address, Vucic said that Serbia wants peace but will never allow the pogrom against its people.
The institutions of the Republic of Serbia and the RS must determine the exact names of the killed Serbs in the territory of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), since even after more than 70 years those facts remain undetermined.
He said that we have to do it also because of the awakening of the Ustasha policy in Croatia.
“We will never allow Jasenovac, Jadovno, Jastrebarsko, nor Operation Storm,” he said, and added that “too many lives were lost for us to be afraid of butchers and murderers that are promoted by some as heroes.”
