Croatian nationalism

President Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic has immediately rejected a petition signed by 3,200 people calling for the army to start using the Croatian WWII-era fascist chant ‘Za dom spremni’.

Croatian website Index.hr has published excerpts from "basic laws of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH)" that banned the use of the Cyrillic alphabet.

The NDH was a Second World War-era fascist entity allied with the Nazis, whose Ustasha regime operated death camps for Serbs, Jews, and Roma, including Jasenovac.

The Anti-Fascist League of Croatia commemorated the deaths of around 1,000 Serbs who were killed by Nazi-allied Ustasa units in the town of Glina during July and August 1941.

Croatia's Transport and Infrastructure Minister, Sinisa Hajdas Doncic, has confirmed that Zagreb's reconstructed Pleso airport will be named after the country's first president, Franjo Tudjman.

Leaders of the main Bosniak and Croat parties in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Party of Democratic Action, SDA, and the Croatian Democratic Union, HDZ, have started talks with parties on forming a new ruling coalition.

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has mentioned intolerance toward Serbs in Croatia in its document dedicated to neo-Nazism.

The Democratic Front, DF, has quit the ruling coalition in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, after the government - against the votes of DF ministers - changed the rules on the appointments of new managers for public companies.

The break-up of the ruling coalition has been dragging on for months, marked by personal rows, conflicting statements and short-lived compromises.

Bakir Izetbegovic of the Party of Democratic Action, SDA, and Zeljko Komsic of the Democratic Front, DF, on Tuesday said the crisis in the government of Bosnia's mainly Bosniak and Croat Federation entity had been resolved.

The two politicians said that problems over opposing views among coalition partners on the replacement of managers in key public companies had been overcome.

The coalition government of Bosnia's Federation entity was on the brink of collapse on Friday as the main players battled over control over lucrative public companies.

Ministers from the main Bosnian Croat party, the Croatian Democratic Union, HDZ, skipped the session of the Federation entity government on Thursday in a continuing dispute with coalition partners over the appointment of managers in public firms.
