"It seems the international strategy is to have Croat Catholics disappear from these parts. How many of us have to disappear for the world to be satisfied?" he said at a mass for Catholic members of the army and the police in Bobovac.
Cardinal Puljic said foreign politicians and diplomats should stop with "brainwashing" and that Croat politicians should stop taking out their frustrations on the people.
Attending the mass celebrated at the third military pilgrimage to Bobovac were 1,500 soldiers and police, Croatian Ambassador to Bosnia Josip Vrbosic, Bosnian Deputy Defence Minister Marina Pendes and Serbian entity Vice President Davor Cordas.
