BANJA LUKA, JULY 6 /SRNA/ – Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik says that Marko Perković Thompson’s concert in Zagreb was not a musical event, but rather a promotion of revisionism, an affirmation of hatred and intolerance, and a celebration of crimes and those who committed them.
"When half a million people chant a slogan under which hundreds of thousands of Serbs, Jews, Roma, and others were killed, then it is a warning sign not only for Croatia, but for all of Europe," Dodik said.
Dodik believes that everything that happened last night in Zagreb is shameful for Croatia and does not contribute to building trust - instead, it undermines even the little that has been achieved so far.
"That was not a concert but a political platform for an ideology we believed had been defeated 80 years ago. We must then ask ourselves—what kind of future is built on hatred, evil, the celebration of others' suffering, and the relativization of the deaths of innocent people?" Dodik posted on X.
Half a million people attended Croatian singer Marko Perković Thompson’s concert last night in Zagreb, where, during the song Bojna Čavoglave, they joyfully chanted the Ustasha slogan "For Homeland - Ready!".
The concert was attended by numerous Croatian public and political figures, including Speaker of the Croatian Parliament Gordan Jandroković.
