Persecution of Serbs

Zoran Vukotic, a Serb former policeman in Kosovo, was sentenced to six-and-a-half years for for the mistreatment and torture of ethnic Albanian civilian prisoners at a jail in 1999.

The OSCE mission in Kosovo said it wants renewed efforts to uncover the truth behind the kidnappings, murders and disappearances of Serb and ethnic Albanian journalists connected to the 1999 war.

Jasenovac was one of the extermination camps set up and operated by the Ustasha regime of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), a Second World War era Nazi-allied entity.

A collection of academic articles on World War II concentration camp Jasenovac is being published in a bid to counter “growing trends of historical revisionism” and politicised misuse of Croatia’s wartime past.

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.

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.

Serbs and anti-fascists will commemorate victims of the Croatian World War II concentration camp at Jasenovac on Saturday, boycotting the official state commemoration for the third year in a row.

SPC Monastery of Visoki (High) Decani Abbot Sava Janjic made the announcement on Twitter:

A witness testified that Zoran Vukotic, a former Serb policeman on trial for war crimes in Kosovo, was involved in killing his son and three of his friends in May 1999.

She made the remark after their meeting in Zagreb on Monday.

Speaking to the media, Grabar-Kitarovic said she was satisfied with the meeting, that according to her, had been under preparation "for months."
