Committee president Jelka Glumicic said among other things that one
should always raise voice against false myths and the cult of
authority because they preceded fascism.
Vesna Terselic of the Zagreb-based Centre for Peace Studies, who heads
a committee to remove the monument to Ustasha soldier Jure Francetic
in Slunj, said that the "failure to document crimes from World War II
is being repeated by failing to document the crimes of the Homeland
War".
"Discussions about (right-wing extremist) Thompson's songs show that
the actual problem - the negation and relativising of war crimes - is
not being seen. Evil must not be done and it must not be negated,
relativised or glorified," Terselic said, adding that it was important
to prosecute and individualise crimes.
