ZAGREB, May 4 (Hina) - The behaviour of Serb minority representatives and Serb members of the municipal authorities and the Town Council in Vukovar, who failed to pay respect to the killed Croatian soldiers at Vukovar's New Cemetery,
is hypocritical, an independent Serb minority MP, Veselin Pejnovic, said on Tuesday. On the occasion of the Day of Vukovar, on May 3, representatives of local and state authorities, family members and fellow fighters gathered at the Alley of Croatian Soldiers to lay wreaths and light candles in memory of killed Vukovar soldiers.

ZAGREB, May 4 (Hina) - The behaviour of Serb minority
representatives and Serb members of the municipal authorities and
the Town Council in Vukovar, who failed to pay respect to the killed
Croatian soldiers at Vukovar's New Cemetery, is hypocritical, an
independent Serb minority MP, Veselin Pejnovic, said on Tuesday.
On the occasion of the Day of Vukovar, on May 3, representatives of
local and state authorities, family members and fellow fighters
gathered at the Alley of Croatian Soldiers to lay wreaths and light
candles in memory of killed Vukovar soldiers.
However, none of the Serb minority representatives or Serb members
of the Vukovar Town Council and leadership attended the ceremony,
Pejnovic said in a statement.
Such behaviour does not promote coexistence in the town which
suffered huge losses and should be "the town of all our towns".
Pejnovic also protested against the "bureaucratic reconciliation"
and asked where the Serb leadership from the Danube region and
Vukovar were building mutual understanding and reconciliation, "if
they do not have understanding for souls which had to leave the
destroyed town in which they (Serb leadership) live today".
This is shameful behaviour of Croatian citizens and Serbs living in
the Danube region, Pejnovic said.
