BANJA LUKA, JULY 9 /SRNA/ – With today's debate in the National Assembly and the adoption of the Law on Amendments to the Law on Cemeteries and Funeral Activities, Republika Srpska has confirmed that there is no tolerance for symbols that glorify criminal ideologies and offend the historical memory and national dignity of the Serb people and other citizens, the Minister of Spatial Planning, Construction, and Ecology, Bojan Vipotnik, told SRNA.

"By adopting this law, we are protecting the dignity of the victims and clearly rejecting any glorification of the Independent State of Croatia /NDH/, as well as Ustasha, Nazi, and fascist ideologies," Vipotnik emphasized.
