ZAGREB, April 26, 2019 – Independent Democratic Serb Party (SDSS) leader Milorad Pupovac, the party’s prime candidate for the forthcoming European Parliament elections, said on Friday that the status of Serbs was an issue that impacts the European nature of Croatia.
Presenting the party’s programme for the elections, Pupovac said that the SDSS was the only political party representing an ethnic minority to run in the EP elections in Croatia.
“We have embarked on the election campaign with the slogan ‘Do you know what it is like to be a Serb in Croatia’. This is a question not often asked and many do not think that it deserves any attention, and it is a matter influencing the volume of liberties and normality in Croatia and the European nature of Croatia,” the SDSS chief and parliamentarian said.
He went to say that the SDSS wants to contribute to efforts to fend Europe and Croatia from ultra-nationalism and ultra-clericalism in Europe and Croatia.
“We want to have an unbowed Croatia, an unbowed Europe and unbowed Serbs in Croatia,” Pupovac said adding that this party would fight against attempts to reduce the rights of the Serbs and other minorities in Croatia as well as in all other EU member-states.
He hopes that during the election campaign the party would raise the funds in the amount of a half million kuna.
