PERIĆ: WITH THE LAW ON CEMETERIES THEY ARE DESTROYING SERBIAN CULTURE AND CYRILIC

BANJA LUKA, APRIL 8 /SRNA/ - Banja Luka lawyer Slobodan Perić assessed for SRNA that the adoption of a new law on cemeteries in Croatia is the result of long-standing hatred towards Serbs on which Croatian officials build their political careers, all with the aim of erasing Serbian culture and the Cyrillic alphabet in that country.

"Thousands of people in Croatia have made a career out of hatred for Serbs. I think the goal of the proposed law in the Croatian Parliament is to remove the Cyrillic alphabet from Serbian gravestones," Perić stated.

He said that Croats patented the ethnic cleansing of Serbs in Croatia by abusing judicial and legislative institutions.

According to him, this Croatian patent is now being applied in other countries, especially in BiH.

Last week, the Government of Croatia submitted to the parliamentary procedure a new law on cemeteries, which foresees the removal of Serbian monuments erected after May 30, 1990.

Croatian Deputy Prime Minister Branko Bačić said that one of the reasons that encouraged them to adopt the new law was that after the last war there were graves on whose monuments and memorial plaques were inscribed, as he stated, "inappropriate names against the constitutional and legal order of Croatia".

If the owners do not remove such a monument, they face a fine of EUR 1,000 to 5,000.
