ZAGREB, Aug 25, 2020 – President Zoran Milanovic said on Tuesday that the commemoration in Grubori for Serb civilian war victims was a debt of honour to what had happened 25 years ago, adding that it had then provoked in him a sense of moral horror.
“It is easy to say now, 25 years later, that no one has personally been called to account for this. It is well-known… which unit was here that day,” Milanovic said.
He added that the murder of six innocent elderly residents of Grubori was a moral disaster and that it also caused harm to Croatia.
It tarnished the reputation of a country that had been attacked and that had not been bad until then, he said.
“… Enough of what marked the relations between the two peoples, two nations so alike that it is difficult to find in Europe two that are more similar to each other. These are not the Czech and Slovak peoples, nor Swedes and Norwegians. It is us, Croats and Serbs, our neighbors,” Milanovic underscored.
