Croatia won’t drop genocide lawsuit against Serbia

The Croatian government will not drop the genocide lawsuit launched against Serbia, Croatian Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor said in Vukovar on Saturday 24 September.

Kosor said that “such a decision can only be passed by the government and the Croatian cabinet will not do this.”

Speaking during the opening of a memorial hall honouring the defenders of Borovo Naselje and Vukovar, Kosor stressed that her cabinet always placed the issue of missing persons at the top of its agenda whenever holding talks with its neighbours.

“There are 999 Croatian defenders and civilians on the list of detained and missing persons from 1991 and 1992 and we have to resolve that,” she added.

Kosor added that she would not respect suggestions that Croatia should stop celebrating Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving Day on the anniversary of Operation Storm.
