COMMEMORATION HELD AT DOTRSCINA

ZAGREB, June 22 (Hina)- In the marking of June 22, the Day of Anti- Fascist Struggle in Croatia, the Alliance of Anti-Fascist Soldiers of Croatia (SABH) organised a commemorative ceremony in the memorial park of Dotrscina in Zagreb on Tuesday. Delegations of the SABH, the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the Action of Croatia's Social Democrats (ASH), and the Socialistic Labour Party (SRP), laid wreaths at the monument to the victims of fascism in Dotrscina. SABH Vice President Vinko Sunjara said that June 22 was one of Croatia's greatest national holidays, because "it symbolises the orientation of the majority of Croatians to resist nazi-fascism by armed struggle" The Anti-Fascists Movement in Croatia was a large-scale movement of Croat people, based on true and authentic social, cultural, and moral values, Sunjara said. During World War Two, the Anti-Fascist Movement in Croatia became a military force which included 150,000 soldiers, Sunjara said. At the same time, authorities of people were developed, which included the Anti-Fascist Council of Croatia (ZAVNOH), "the true Croatian parliament which demonstrated the continuity of Croatian statehood", Sunjara added. Also present at the ceremony was Varese mayor Angelo Kieza, on behalf of Italian anti-fascists. (hina) it
