Ethnic groups in Croatia

Central to Tarrant's worldview appears to have been a commitment to the so-called "Great Replacement" theory.

This conspiracy theory posits that Muslim immigration to Western countries is a secret plot to "outbreed" white Christians of European ancestry and thus take over their "homelands". A peculiar brand of Islamophobia, it is rooted in anti-Ottoman sentiment.

"The problem is that an anti-Serb atmosphere is being created and that incidents do not happen only in election campaigns. This is the manner in which this set in Croatia rules," said Dacic told Prva TV.

A new dossier published by the Humanitarian Law Centre NGO documents the role of the Serbian police, army and State Security in the forced displacement of Croats from Serbia during the 1991-95 war.

"Ms. Pejcinovic-Buric would like to pick who can sit in the government of Serbia. For Croatia's policy, there have always been suitable and unsuitable Serbs," the Serbian defense minister said, adding:

"I'm glad the lady places me among the unsuitable ones, meaning, among the free Serbs."

Serb MPs in Croatia expressed anger after a ruling party member and lawmaker’s son posted an Orthodox Christmas message on Facebook showing a fascist Ustasa fighter holding a Serb soldier’s severed head.

The video shows a white van and a man standing in front of the vehicle waiting. Soon, some 20 migrants walk out of a forest and quickly enter the van.

On that occasion, this former member of the Serbian government from 2008 until 2014, stressed that that the BNV "has remained and continues to be Bosniak, adding that he was "happy and proud" that there had been no incidents during the voting, "confirming the Bosniaks as a mature nation."

The Serbian government’s Commission for Missing Persons said that the remains of 15 Serbs who were killed in the Croatian Army’s Operation Storm in 1995 have been exhumed.

A group of Croatian right-wingers, including popular nationalist singer Marko Perkovic, alias Thompson, are suing over a report accusing them of involvement in hate speech against Serbs.

Dacic on Wednesday also called on what he referred to as "brothers and sisters Croats" to all focus "a little bit on the future."

Dacic said this as a response to Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic stating that "Serbia's EU path leads through Croatia," and that there are "many issues have piled up that must be resolved in order for Serbia to join the EU."
