Croatian nationalism

And that would be "a column of unity," she said.

In addition, Grabar-Kitarovic stands for "determining the truth about what actually happened" in Jasenovac - this time "using modern methods."

The Ustasha regime, in power in the Nazi-allied Independent State of Croatia (NDH), established and operated Jasenovac as the biggest of its death camps for Serbs, Jews, and Roma.

"First of all, it should be clearly stated that the gathering that is held is a church manifestation. It is not up to the government, the president of the province nor the provincial government to decide whether this gathering will be held," Kurz told reporters.

The greeting, which translates to, "for home ready" and is abbreviated to "ZDS", was used by the fascist Ustasha regime of the WW2-era Independent State of Croatia (NDH) - a Nazi allied entity that operated death camps for Serbs, Jews, and Roma, including Jasenovac.

Wikimedia Foundation Inc did not reply to BIRN’s inquiries about entries on Croatian Wikipedia that downplay crimes committed at the Jasenovac concentration camp by Croatia’s WWII fascist Ustasa regime.

The "Ustasha" reference concerns the WW2-era, Nazi allied Independent State of Croatia (NDH) - and the leader of the opposition SRS spoke to reporters a day after an incident in the Serbian National Assembly that prompted a visiting Croatian delegation to cut short their visit, and Zagreb to attempt to deliver a protest note to the Serbian ambassador to Croatia.

Over 10,000 protesters from all over Croatia, as well as from Bosnia and Herzegovina, gathered on Thursday evening in the centre of the coastal city of Split to protest against Zagreb's upcoming ratification Council of Europe's Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence, widely known as the Istanbul Convention.

A 1990s battalion of the Croatian Defence Forces, named after a WWII Ustasa commander, commemorated its foundation in the city of Split by chanting the fascist slogan ‘Za dom spremni’.

With this act Croatia again relativizes the horrific and genocidal crimes committed in the NDH during the Second World War, and it also sends the Serbs in Croatia more than a scary message. This is in direct contradiction with the foundations on which post-war Europe and international order were built.

BELGRADE - Serbian FM Ivica Dacic said on Friday Croatia's decision not to fully outlaw an Ustasha salute was another instance of relativisation of the crimes committed in the WWII-era Independent State of Croatia and a terrifying message to Serbs who remain in Croatia.

SARAJEVO - Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) Presidency Chairman Dragan Covic on Wednesday announced the tri-partite body would next week hold a trilateral meeting with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic.
