BOSNIĆ: CROATIA IN JANUARY 2026 IS SAME AS NDH OF 1941

BELGRADE, JANUARY 15 /SRNA/ - The president of the Movement of Krajina Serbs Mile Bosnić stated that the filing of a criminal complaint against the Serbian National Council for performing the song "Vidovdan" at their celebration in Zagreb is a sign that the state project of the complete destruction of Serbs in Croatia is in its final stage.

He added that Croatia in January 2026 is the same as Croatia of 1941.

"The state is behind the persecution of Serbs. This is a continuation of the policies from 1941. The big problem lies with us. If there were a resolution on Jasenovac, on the genocide against Serbs in the NDH /Independent State of Croatia/, if the world had condemned it, perhaps the lives of our compatriots in Croatia would be at least a little more humane," Bosnić said.

He pointed out that the level of Serbophobia in Croatia is illustrated by the fact that Ustasha atrocities, including the recent incident in Baška Voda near Split, accompanied by the song `Jasenovac and Gradiška Stara,` go unpunished, while the performance of "Vidovdan" caused an uproar.

"It's not just about individuals; it is state policy to eradicate the existence of Serbs, meaning that a Serb can only be someone who walks down the street with their head down. When they want to sing, a Serb has to ask: `May I?` when they want to celebrate, they have to ask: `Does this bother anyone?` And even when they want to play bocce, they have to ask: `May we play?`" Bosnić said.

He believes that such torment carried out by Croats against, as he calls it, the remnants of the Serbian people, has no parallel in human history, all under the guise of European Catholic values.

"The only Serb they consider `good` is the one who does not exist - better yet, the one who would kill himself," Bosnić said.

He emphasized that the Croats might restrain themselves in their hatred if there were a stronger response from both Belgrade and the EU, but such a response is lacking.

"What we are seeing today is an absolute replication of the NDH. Just as the genocide back then was a product of state policy supported by the Vatican. Unfortunately, nothing is accidental, and our response is completely inadequate, at the level of third-rate propaganda," Bosnić said.

In Croatia, a criminal complaint has been filed against the Serbian National Council, the organizer of the traditional New Year's event "Serbian Evening," because it was deemed problematic that Serbian singer Snežana Đurišić performed the songs "Odakle si, sele" and "Vidovdan," which the audience sang along to.

The complaint states that the songs performed at the celebration "incite hatred on national and religious grounds".
