Ethnic groups in Croatia

Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic says the story about "the Greater Serbia aggression" on Croatia is - a great lie.

Dacic - speaking while presenting contracts to give Serb refugees from Croatia 302 packages of building material - said that a film about them that had been screened "shows how great a lie the 'Greater Serbia aggression' is."

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has called on Croatia's state leadership "to pay more attention to the position of the Serb national minority in Croatia."

The defence for the former Serbian State Security official Franko Simatovic dismissed testimony given by a witness who said Simatovic delivered arms to the Croatian Serbs in 1990.

The goal of the declaration on the survival of the Serb nation is to preserve the Serbian language and culture from decay - "and we have something to protect."

This has been stated by Nikola Selakovic, the Serbian president's general secretary.

Montenegro's NOVA party, which represents the large Serbian community in the country, will participate in drafting Vucic's proposed 'survival of the Serbian nation' declaration, alleging discrimination and political pressure by the Podgorica authorities.
