Wednesday received a delegation of the Association of Croatian
Anti-Fascist Fighters (SABH) ahead of July 22 - Anti-Fascist
Struggle Day.
"We extended our best wishes to the President on the occasion of
Anti-Fascist Struggle Day, which is the foundation of Croatia's
statehood," SABH president Ivan Fumic said.
It was the anti-fascist struggle that introduced Croatia by the
front door into the circle of civilised European countries, Fumic
said.
Also discussed was the need to equalise the rights of all citizens,
primarily war veterans, and resolve some status issues of which the
SABH has already informed the Government, Fumic said.
According to Fumic, President Mesic supported these proposals and
firmly stood on the positions of anti-fascism.
Croatian nationalists gathered in different extremist groups are
fighting under the pretext of patriotism for their own positions,
wishing Croatia's isolation. "The door has been closed for fascism
and in the future we can only be on the path of democracy and anti-
fascism," Fumic said.
