VUKOVAR, Aug 14 (Hina) - Croatia's society of former Serb
concentration camps' inmates marked in Vukovar on Monday the eighth
anniversary of coming out from those camps.
Society president Danijel Rehak called on surviving inmates and the
entire Croatian public to never forget the horrors which took place
in Serb concentration camps during last decade's Homeland War.
He pointed to the need of establishing in Vukovar a centre for the
research of war crimes committed on the territory of the former
Yugoslav federation.
Rehak objected to the Croatian government's acknowledgement of the
existence of only a few Serb concentration camps and not each one in
which, he added, numerous Croats and non-Serbs were detained,
tortured, and killed during the Serb aggression on Croatia.
Addressing those attending the marking of the anniversary, MP
Jadranka Kosor spoke about "attempts by some circles from home and
the international community" to equate Croatia's Homeland War,
namely its two liberation operations Flash and Storm, with the Serb
aggression on Croatia.
The criminalisation of the Homeland War is the criminalisation of
all who took part in it, she said.
Today's event saw the presentation of "Vukovar's Ninth Circle", a
book by former inmate Miljenko Miljkovic, and an exhibition of
paintings by former inmate Drago Jelic entitled "The Sufferings of
Croatia's Fallen Heroes in the Homeland War."
